Usage hints



• Resizing on the fly
• Clickable thumbnail BBCode howto

This service allows for "resizing on the fly" by modifying the URL ( similar to IMGUR ).


By adding image dimensions into the target URL, your image need only be uploaded once at full size and used anywhere & any size thereafter without any further image manipulation.

Example image ( https://imgdump5.novarata.net/og3pgh.jpg ) is 800x941 pixels in its original form:

. . . but if we use this URL: https://imgdump5.novarata.net/640x753/og3pgh.jpg the software will provide a smaller image:

. . and thumbnail size with https://imgdump5.novarata.net/240x282/og3pgh.jpg


If you have an image in any of the following sizes, any of the other sizes may be used without image distortion.
Please note that increasing an images's size will increase the distortion levels, so it's recommended you start with the largest image available and reduce its size, rather than trying to blow up a small image.

 Landscape orientation
480x360 | 640x480 | 800x600 | 1024x768 | 1200x960 | 1600x1200

 Portrait orientation
360x480 | 480x640 | 600x800 | 768x1024 | 960x1200 | 1200x1600


Oversize images can be a pain in the browser. If you're sharing something detailed ( i.e. "It's huge, so you can see it" ) that may only interest a few folks, it's usually best to use a clickable thumbnail.

To do this on a discussion board, just follow this template:
[URL=https://imgdump5.novarata.net/og3pgh.jpg][IMG]https://imgdump5.novarata.net/240x282/og3pgh.jpg[/IMG][/URL] ( this one uses the pretty girl seen elsewhere on this page as an example )
Explained: [URL=URL to large image][IMG]URL to thumbnail image[/IMG][/URL]

ping 

 [from the submariners' term for a sonar pulse] 1. n. 
   Slang term for a small network message (ICMP ECHO) sent by a
   computer to check for the presence and alertness of another.  The
   Unix command ping(8) can be used to do this manually (note
   that ping(8)'s author denies the widespread folk etymology
   that the name was ever intended as acronym for `Packet INternet
   Groper').  Occasionally used as a phone greeting.  See ACK,
   also ENQ.  2. vt. To verify the presence of.  3. vt. To get
   the attention of.  4. vt. To send a message to all members of a
   mailing list requesting an ACK (in order to verify that
   everybody's addresses are reachable).  "We haven't heard much of
   anything from Geoff, but he did respond with an ACK both times I
   pinged jargon-friends."  5. n. A quantum packet of happiness. 
   People who are very happy tend to exude pings; furthermore, one can
   intentionally create pings and aim them at a needy party (e.g., a
   depressed person).  This sense of ping may appear as an
   exclamation; "Ping!" (I'm happy; I am emitting a quantum of
   happiness; I have been struck by a quantum of happiness).  The form
   "pingfulness", which is used to describe people who exude pings,
   also occurs.  (In the standard abuse of language, "pingfulness"
   can also be used as an exclamation, in which case it's a much
   stronger exclamation than just "ping"!).  Oppose blargh.

The funniest use of `ping' to date was described in January 1991 by
   Steve Hayman on the Usenet group comp.sys.next.  He was trying
   to isolate a faulty cable segment on a TCP/IP Ethernet hooked up to
   a NeXT machine, and got tired of having to run back to his console
   after each cabling tweak to see if the ping packets were getting
   through.  So he used the sound-recording feature on the NeXT, then
   wrote a script that repeatedly invoked ping(8), listened for
   an echo, and played back the recording on each returned packet. 
   Result?  A program that caused the machine to repeat, over and
   over, "Ping ... ping ... ping ..." as long as the
   network was up.  He turned the volume to maximum, ferreted through
   the building with one ear cocked, and found a faulty tee connector
   in no time.
