Change the image size in the mobile view

DU Public Seen by 134

I proposed a PR to increase the size of all images displayed in the stream on mobile view. This would improve the quality of the displayed images but increase th quantity of data transfered each time the stream loads.

Currently, the images are displyed at a size of 300px. The proposition is about to increase it to 700px maximum.

Many persons are paying for each MB of their Internet connection. Even worse, vacation in foreign countries means a very expensive data connection. The only way I would accept this proposition is a user setting false by default.

Like I wrote in the comments it is not clear if this proposal is about the implementation in the PR or about resizing images to 700x700px

Browsing using mobile with causes connection drops and/or changes between mobile data connection modes even down to GPRS, large images would slow it all down too much.
I would accept this only if I could toggle it with off-as-default.

The mobile view is for mobile devices with small screens and limited bandwidth.

Blocking due to bandwidth limitations on mobile devices. I'll change my opinion as soon as this proposal talks about a user changable setting with is off by default.

As I showed here, the difference between the resized image and the original one is to big. The resized image has too much poor quality and forces the user to load the original file every time. This is, actually, a loss of bandwidth.

With images displayed in a better quality directly in the stream, the user would not have to load the original images every time.

As an exemple, here is how an image appears in my stream:

and here is the full size image:

This is particularly a problem when the image displays text because it is always too blurry to be redable.

I disagree. In most cases the quality of the thumbnail is good enough to find out that I'm not interested in the image at all.

Your proposal says

Currently, the images are displyed at a size of 300px. The proposition is about to increase it to 700px maximum.

Currently we display images which are resized to 300x300. (max-height and max-width is 300) In your PR you use 700xInf but your proposal sounds like you mean 700x700.

YES. DO IT!!!

The quality of images on mobile view is just sooooooo rubbish!!!!

Make them as high a quality as possible, it's 2015 not 2005 for fucks sake!

Thanks :) 👍🏻
