Hawaii Rental 2017 (Testing 1-2-3!)

Found this buried on my imgur. Figured it would make a great test! -
Whatever you did for the thumbnail... don't.
-
What in the ever loving. . . . . .
Do you want that image in billboard size or blimp size? -
Yesh! That's what these tests are for!
-
Yeah, there is a known issue with linking thumbnails compared to uploading them at the moment.....the site is still a work in progress after all!
-
@rallydarkstrike Disable thumbnail hyperlink until solved, maybe? Wondering how the thumbnail uploads affect site storage as well... does a 5 MB upload for thumbnail remain on site, or does it make the thumbnail and discard the original file?

I believe @jminer has the site set to compress images when uploaded to save on space. He'd wrote about it somewhere, but it compresses them a lot, though leaves them still looking fairly decent.

@rallydarkstrike Good deal. Was hoping that was the case, and that it’s not saving 2 big images on the server when you upload a thumbnail, then upload the same picture to include in the post (wonky from a UX standpoint - but is a nice option at times to have a separate thumbnail that’s not part of the main post, I guess).

I believe the separate thumbnail thing is just how things worked with this NodeBB forum setup and, as it's a bit of a pain to try and change, and we have bigger fish to fry right now in terms of bugs and setup, we just let it be for the time being...
The big thing with thumbnails right now is trying to sort the massive-size thumbnail LINKING. lol
