Attachment & Video Thumbnails

[Deolrin]

...Are kind of weird and iffy. I don't quite remember how they worked in Hive 2.0/1.0 but I know they made more sense. Now small images become a hyper-zoomed mess with really bad compression, and non-square aspect ratio images in general look very funky:

While YouTube videos also seem to take up way too much space:

So much so that two videos back to back cause a scrollbar to appear on 1440p / QHD resolutions.
I think for starters both of those preview types should be made smaller overall. I'm not sure about a better solution for image attachments, I think maybe images smaller than the preview thumbnail could be kept whole (with some kind of border/indication for the thumbnail's edges), or the Hive 2.0 / 1.0 solution could be implemented (though again, admittedly I don't remember what that solution entailed).

Yeah many people dislike how attachments show up in the bottom of a post, upscaled and blurry.

About videos, eh, I dunno.

 

[Deolrin]

Well, the videos is not so much about how they look as much as the fact that a scroll bar shows up even on 1440p resolution just by posting 2 of them side by side. As long as they are small enough to not distort the page (cause a scroll bar to appear) they should be good.
This shouldn't happen:

Can you make an example and post it here so I can look at the same thing as you and we can talk about that?

Horizontal scroll bars also appear when you have too many large images in a row in a [STABLE], but I feel like that's more reasonable? Although perhaps there should be a limit to how much you can distend the horizontal aspect of a page, since the forum's width seems to be locked now rather than adjust to one's native resolution?

The "Videos" is because you are using a table. When a table is too wide, it gets a scrollbar. Especially useful for mobile but anyone can make a table too wide.

 

[Deolrin]

Alright, that's fair.
I suppose I still think two videos side by side should not be too much but I can see what you mean there.
