Question Limits for external images. How does it work?

On my site I have set limits for height and larhezza image

500 * 500

Now,

If loading from my computer a bigger picture does not load.

Ok!!!

But if I post the link to an external image, the image that remains on my site has different dimensions than those set in the configuration

ES:

In this post:

In this post the images do not meet the dimensions set. Why? :huh:

There are also filesize limitations for uploaded files. Did you configure that as well?

I did not understand ...

I put a limit. this limit is observed only when loading an image from the PC.
External images do not take into account this limit.

Of course they do not.

Kunena does not check external links and should not do that for security reasons.

If it would do the check for every file, I have an attack that will render your site useless. Just link 10M file to a post and make an automatic script to fetch that page.

Results: your site loads very, very slowly and soon (in 2-5 days) it hits GB limit and will be offline rest of the month.

But the external images are scaled equally.
But these new dimensions do not take account of my settings

ES:

www.indafun.it/index.php?option=com_kune...atid=10&id=5562#5563

the actual picture has this size 600px × 799px

www.ilmessaggero.it/MsgrNews/HIGH/20090220_rihanna1.jpg

in the post has this size 405px × 539px

In settings where the limit is 500 * 500 why the image is resized (anyway) but with different dimensions? :huh:

Thus, the external images are resized anyway.
But by what criterion? :dry:

There are two different settings: one is max allowed image size and the another is max width they can have in the forum. If you change the limit to 2000x2000 px and look at the page, the image will be scaled down.

Yes, this needs to be changed -- it's legacy feature from FireBoard.

The criteria is there because of css limits. Try to change Textarea Width (I think it's this one) to 2000 and load that large image. It will break your layout.
