Hey AF mods,

I've been coming to these forums since I've purchased my android a couple of months ago but I've only recently decided to join. I do web design in my free time and I've also mod'ed a forum in the past, so you can imagine that this issue would tear at me a little when I see it.

Issue
An issue that I've noticed is that when users post images that have a larger width than the forum layout, the posting area is stretched passed the forum layout.

Solution
I went ahead and did some research for you guys just in case you decide to fix the issue. I know you guys are using vBulletin for the forum build so I went to their forums to search for a fix. vBulletin 4 versions have many image mods but since this is v3 then I found only 3. Explanation and link followed:

The one linked below works for the vBulletin 3.8.x. Seems that all it does once installed is that it allows you to edit the maxwidth method in the css.
Link: Quick Auto Image-Resize (Posts & Signature) - vBulletin.org Forum

This one seems to do the same thing essentially
Link: Best and Fast image resize vbulletin light box supported - vBulletin.org Forum

This one does the same with css but adds that images show onMouseOver

Link: BBcode Image Resizer with CSS - vBulletin.org Forum

Not sure if you guys have thought of this or tested these mini-mod and they didn't work too well but hopefully it works or you find another mod for the forums.

Best of Luck,
DaedalusxX
