What does the "enable retina images" option do?

For good measure, another small grab bag of entirely optional, extremely low priority feature requests:

It'd be good if in the process of resizing images, there was a check if the image is 3 times taller than it's wide or more, and if so, to let go of the vertical restriction. Something like that. I'm seeing some ridiculously narrow screenshots of social media conversations that end up being illegible because their height is restricted. I'm thinking the "worst" aspect ratio for actual photos is going to be 1:2 due to there being phones with screens like that, which isn't a problem with how resizing works currently.

And going back to something that someone said way back in the Firefox thread, if it's easy to force every (thread/thread page/go to last post) link on the user control panel or bookmarks page to open in a new tab, or to make that conditional to the source page being a pinned tab, either of those would help me out a lot on a touch device and on other computers where Tab Mix Plus has hosed up my muscle memory in the past.

Is image resizing even necessary these days?

It's not necessary anymore to protect against table breakage or anything like that. But it's aesthetically pleasing to have pictures fit the viewport for the anal retentive types. The existing code mostly suffices for that. and then it's marginally annoying to have to open the occasional overly narrow picture in a new tab. I wouldn't like to see you work on suggestions you can't muster any enthusiasm for. I can deal with it one way or another.

Thanks for the other answers as well. Really happy that open in new tab stuff could possibly be a thing at some point.

I probably should have checked, but yeah, no browser will show it if it is inside <img> tags. Weird since I see it every now and then. I figured something like Chrome was just allowing it for whatever reason.

The android app allows it. Just like it plain shows http linked images that work nowhere else.

Also when you do gifvs the proper way, they don't show up in post preview, so maybe you've got people hypercorrecting to img tags because they think they did it wrong when they didn't.

You can set the time format in the forums settings to 24h, I think. AM or PM after the post date takes up as much space as the added button would.

Way back I mentioned that the touch keyboard covered the quick reply window. That's now fixed on Microsoft's end.

The Windows dpi scaling setting also factors in in Firefox and maybe for some reason not in Irfanview.

Here's one I came across recently, from this post:

Videos only embed with video tags, so let's see

E: yeah, works fine

I am guessing from context you are describing an SALR feature - if SALR is changing regular youtube.com links that use [url] tags to instead embed, then you are correct that it could also accept youtu.be links for that feature.

It only has an embed on click function and that works fine with youtu.be links.

This was recently brought up in the Firefox thread and settled to help people with slow loading Twitter.

I turned on the option to do Image Resizing (Restrict size of images to:...) and it seems to convert timg images to normal images while it does the resizing.

Is there some way to fix that?

Astral changed how timg works on the forums proper and now the restrict img size thing in SALR is broken in some unexpected ways. I don't know of a fix.

I got them hidden with uBlock Origin, I think this rule is it:
forums.somethingawful.com##.alertbutton

Should be easy with the element picker.

Around when you posted the above, some of the threads I've posted in got the yellow mark. But I've posted in a bunch more since where it simply doesn't show up.

Also the yellow is different from what I had previously and I can't find where to customize it. I don't even rightly remember if there ever was a place.

I don't think it's much of a problem, just letting you know.
