Forum Suggestions/Bugs (upload size/banners/threads)

[kanalumaddela]

1. Upload Size
   • The current upload size is set at 50 KB, which is really tiny. I don't even know how I was able to upload my first avatar when the filesize for it was 348 KB. I suggest this gets bumped up to appropriate amount such as 1 MB at least. While there are tools to resize and compress images, these aren't always helpful. For example, the avatar below I want to set, but even resized to 200x200 (recommended size) is 64.1 KB (used PS CS6)
   • Spoiler: Avatar (500x500)

     
2. UserBanners
   • The userbanners on a person's profile have the default XF gradient image over them and in my opinion causes a "old-style" look. I'm a preference of flat over bulky most of the time and if the gradient image was remove, I feel it would look better and have a cleaner look to it and overall it's just better. The gradient causes the set background colors to not be as vibrant as they're set.
   • Original:
     
   • Updated:
     

   • .userBanner {
         background: none; /*removes XF gradient image, and uses background-color*/
     }

3. Creating a Thread
   • Currently when you create a thread with a large amount of text, a scroll bar appears, so you can still view the text without increasing the size of the input box, but for some reason there is an overflow causing content to go outside the box. This doesn't affect creating threads whatsoever, but rather an appearance bug.
   • Spoiler: Example

     
   • Solution: Remove the "height" attribute from the Rich Text Editor (remove "height: 100%;")

Darn, I read this as General Discussion and accidentally posted here, would someone (@flyth @Raphraph @Xuxe) mind moving this to Bugs/Feature Requests. That forum is more focused towards the bot (well they all are), but it's the closest in topics.

1. Strange, my picture have a size of more than 2 MB and that worked.
2&3. Very good Ideas, but flyth does not have much time atm, so he will change that maybe in a few weeks.

IDK what happened, my current avatar was able to upload when I first joined. I feel like it might've changed sometime in between

Ok, thanks. Good to know

I hate bumping old threads, but another request is to enable Xenforo's Image/Link proxy, so everything proxies through the site for full SSL. This thread for example has 2 images both of which are non https, so there isn't a full green SSL on the url bar. Mixed content basically.
