Truedat.
Check the file as the page is loading and plop the dimensions in? That's
probably a little hard on the server since we're loading that picture on
every single article page (instead of just the user's page), so it may
not be worth it at this point. (Don't know enough about CF to figure it
out, but I know two ways to do it in an IIS/ASP envrionment would be
with a compiled component or the FileSystemObject, both of which have
their drawbacks.) Is something like ImageMagick an option here? Or is
that only useful in the uploading process than the viewing process?
I'm really okay with it the way it is, especially since I can't offer
any code fixes, and I'm not against requiring a specific image size, it
just seems like an unusual aspect where most people will likely want to
upload a headshot. Tha'sall.
Reiterating, just to make sure everyone gets sick of hearing it: I know
this has all been discussed. I only jumped in when someone asked for
specific input. :)
