Images are hosted off site so can be re-sized beforehand. Well if Photobucket they tend to get re-sized first. If imageshack then they get resized as the page loads which seriously slows down the page load time here. I have had to avoid threads where someone has posted too many pics from imageshack.

There's nothing wrong with your first test Markus. The small thumbnail with link works in the signature. The only issue I have with it, is that once the link has taken one to your wild thinking :idea: page, one gets locked into that and the browser back button becomes disabled. So best to open the link in new window.

Well... The point was that I wanted to avoid having to create a thumbnail... But then again, one thumbnail in a forgotten folder won't be that bad...

Fair enough, new window it is...

Aaaand we are back to phpbb's limitations... Can't set the option to make the link open in another window... Bugger...

The getting trapped on your webpage that disables the browser back button is to do with something on your side. I suspect it's something to do with the javascript for your gallery. It probably has no page reload script within it which effects the way ones browser registers history therefore ones browser gets confused as to where it has been or wants to go next. Hope that kind of makes sense.

It's not your fault (unless you wrote the code:wink: ) it's just down to bad javascript and there is not a lot you can do about it. It's just a pain in the back end. It's OK when one has visited the site before because one can then just open in a new browser window in future to get around that quirk. Some sites will do it maliciously to get one stuck on their site, a sort of marketing ploy. One of the webs little annoyances.

Can you manually add the necessary code in your sig?

Code: Select all
