High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

The problem is with adding BBCodes is you have to be specific with what you want added. Reason being is as soon as you start adding support for HTML elements/meta with no restrictions, there is a chance that someone could start doing some mildly annoying stuff and even compromise the integrity of BBCodes in a post or thread (completely invalid html, for example, or changing a property that frankly should not be changed).

The example you gave with the image is easily solvable if you resize the image yourself then upload it. That keeps the IMG BBCode simple. If that sort of parameter was added, it'd also likely only be editable in plaintext and not the WYSIWYG editor, because adding UI fields for that require custom development, if a XenForo extension for it doesn't already exist.

That being said, there are other BBCodes that exist added with Ultimate. What else were you thinking?

Resize the image first, then upload it.
1. Reduces the amount of work the browser has to handle,
2. Reduces download size if you intend to make it smaller,
3. Increases definition if you intend to make it larger,
4. Doesn't clutter up the website's code,
5. Doesn't introduce additional points of possible security vulnerabilities.

I want the ability to have multiple images on 1 line.

I believe this is already possible using our TABLE BBCode. Definitely not the best option though, especially with overflow. Could potentially add more types of containers in the future.

Reason I say that is because I had a thread design made and we had sections and they had 2-3 per row and I tried multiple times to achieve it and just didnt work can you maybe show me?
