Super Awesome feature

it would be really cool if there could be an extension that allowed users to alter the position of where the avatar is going to show up on the forums liek right now on this Lussumo Community forum it automatically focuses in the center of the image u link to it would be cool if u could for example move it to a corner, zoom in, zoom out , etc. stuff like that is that even possible? or would it like requite the use of flash? jw

...or you could adjust the picture accordingly before you add it?

Of course it's possible as you suggested but it would require added complexity.

yeah ur right i thought about it and figured it would be super difficult i just thought i would give my idea thanks for the comment

Neat idea The shifting could be done by inserting a bit of CSS inline to set the background-position property. Shouldn't be too hard. The hard part of that would be to design the interface and get the zooming options.

so u know how to do most of it?

so anyone still interested in making this? (don't kill me, if you do not like the idea) this is an old idea of mine and i don't have the skill to make it yet maybe in another hundred years lol

The idea is nice, from a user's perspective and I can imagine a handful actually using it. But tend to doubt that it is worth the effort. Moving the picture is probably easy, with a little bit of javascript. But then zooming already requires something that is almost a graphics editor, since it must stretch the image visually, provide the interface and even sharpen it and save it to disk, you get the picture. Just use one of the many editors out there. The good part is: that also works on any other forum or whatever you need a picture for. ;)
