Pictures too big . . .
I've noticed just in the past couple of weeks that huge pictures are messing up otherwise nice threads.
I know a lot (most?) people don't know or care how to reduce the picture before they post it, but I thought this forum (like most nowadays) automatically resized overly-large pictures.
But I don't see anybody else in these threads commenting on it. It does it on both of my computers, both running Firefox.
What's going on?

The forum does have software that will automatically resize the photos per settings in your own account. It has been installed and used for some months.
Go to UserCP: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/usercp.php
Scroll down to the The Image Resizer section near the bottom and enter a value for Image width if 1024, the default setting, is too large and you're running a screen resolution around 1024.

Here's what I don't understand: I've been on here for 11 months, and everything has worked fine until a couple of week ago. I did not change any settings within my CP.
But suddenly, both my PCs have this problem on THIS forum. It leads me to believe the problem is not on my end.
Yet I didn't see any other posters complain about it.

Link to me a specific post where it is not working. If it's a multipage thread, please provide the exact post.
Other things that can make it not work is if you're using any add-ons that break the plugin from working. Namely javascript.

It was at default (blank) I changed it to 800 but it didn't help.

They are being resized correctly for me.
By default (blank value), all images large than 1024px wide are resized to 1024px wide. Putting a value of 800px for width would have meant all images 800px wide or larger would be resized to 800px in width. But that work is done via javascript by your computer.
About the only possibility is you have an add-on in your browser and/or 3rd party security software that is not allowing the javascript to operate.

I just noticed your account is using Slimbox (setting above where you set the image size). Change it to default(Lytebox) and retry.
