Hello every1. Sometimes I see people inserting big images and videos into shoutbox, but it's hard to see/watch them. I hope they will read this topic :)


1.
When inserting an image that is wider than 200px use the following code:
[img width=200]http://image_url[/img]
You can also use height=x if an image is "long".

To open a full sized image, right click on it and select "Open image in new tab/window".

2.
Don't insert [ youtube ] video. Post a link instead. People won't watch videos in the shoutbox anyway.

3.
Use spoilers to hide big content (or erotic images, or any images ideally):
[spoiler]Hidden text there[/spoiler]

4.
Don't use shoutbox instead of instant messages. If you want to talk with some1 else, then type:
/msg MonkeyIsland
It will open a "personal shoutbox".

5.
If you are inserting some really long link, then you can use some service to make the link shorter, e.g.: http://tinyurl.com/ I would not recommend to do it (some people don't trust such urls), but there are some cases, when it's a really good idea (e.g. huge google map link).

6.
Post more cat gifs, I like them ;)

My ISP allowed your pic, but blocked Kaleu's. So I didn't see it. Which one is Kaleu's?
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

@ Statik: Amen.
Gets a bit annoying having to scroll to see the image
One argument though: Enough with the cat gifs, they suck :/

It's terrible. Just click "History".

MonkeyIsland

Well made a fix for images. If the image width is bigger than the shoutbox width, system will auto correct the size and put a link for the image to view its original size.

Well the point of the shoutbox is not having to click anything to read it, or else a forum post would be better.
