#3781 closed Defect (fixed)

User & group icons don't specify dimensions in HTML so page reformats dynamically on slow connections

Severity: minor Keywords: user profile group icons size dimensions

Description (last modified by ewinslow)

The <img> tags for user profile and group icons don't contain 'width' and 'height' parameters. This means that the browser has to adjust the page layout as each image is downloaded and its size discovered.

This is particularly noticeable on slow connections when the list of groups is loaded.

I have a fix for this and will submit it through Github.

Took a look at this. There is a problem with images smaller than the default sizes. It causes weird stretching artifacts. We could live with it and tell users to upload larger images, do upsampling on the images that are too small, or require images to be a certain size.
