Quite a few bug fixes, thanks. The returned markup is now always reduced to 350. The uploader still doesn't disallow (or resize) large images, though; wiki pages display huge images shrunk to 350 even though they are "really" huge.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.The fact that the uploader tool allows large images to be uploaded (and doesn't resize them) continues to be a complete waste of bandwidth (because wiki articles display them shrunk to 350 px wide anyway), and is such an annoyance to IP regulars that there is a sticky thread dedicated to fixing the problem
case-by-case (since it's "allowed" systematically).
Not allowing large images at all would be a trivial fix. Resizing large images when they're uploaded is probably less trivial, but the tool used to do that, so it's not impossible. Some kind of official response would be nice. At least let us know whether it's intentional.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.A while ago the auto-resizer broke and I asked it not to be reinstalled, partly because it's a patchwork fix and partly because it doesn't actually fix the bandwidth issue.
As for the uploader, I've asked about why it no longer restricts the filesize.
I've asked for some improvements to the image library in the beta, which may also include an image deletion function.

I'm suddenly getting problems with the Uploader (using it through Firefox on a Windows machine). The file selection and crop appear to work fine, but then I get a result of the form:
Error updating remote server
Upload was successfull!
The markup to use:
[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/div25.]]
[[caption-width-right:140:some caption text]]
(The number at the end of that URL string varies.)
Not surprisingly "[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/div25.]]" doesn't work.

= Spindriver =I can upload images on my PC (Chrome) but not my iPad (Safari). Note that I'm currently on the latter.
Edit: Yep, I'm having the problem described in post #32.

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Images that are not linked on any articles will eventually be purged by a script. There is no need to review and delete them manually.

Still can't upload images on Internet Explorer. Is anyone trying to fix this issue?
