1. Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

[bimg] is terrible and needs to be reworked. (Many large images here)

    I will take a look at this and see if it's easy to fix.

    We're currently pending an upgrade to XF 2.0, and fixes like this may have to wait until after that just to avoid wasted effort.

    I didn't even know this existed. (Which might be an argument for "this doesn't really matter", though.)

    The separate "view at original size" target would be nice for cases when I click on the image only to discover that the jerk who posted it made it into a link. Except that no-one uses this that I've ever seen.

    Other problem:

    I mostly browse on mobile, usually my phone sometimes my tablet. When someone posts an [img] that's too big for my viewport, it just gets resized down to something that fits and I can click it to expand. This is nice, because it lets me preview it and decide if it's worth expanding. With the current behavior of [bimg], if the image is too wide for my viewport for whatever reason, that's it I'm screwed. I can't even scroll sideways to view it, like I can an expanded [img]. My only option is to click to view it and let it shrink down to fit. There are several examples of this problem in the OP.

    It would be nice if [bimg] shrunk images down to fit my screen, like [img] does.

    (There's also the thing where the bimg viewer apparently gathers and shows all the images in a post, which could generate spoilers for some niche use-cases, but that's not as much of an obstacle.)
