Question about image resizing in vbb 3.6

[edogs]

We are thinking about upgrade, and one of important questions for us is...
In vbb 3.0.7 we could let users upload images (for example) lower than 100Kb, images will be automatically create thumbernail and big image. If image doesn't need to be resized, it'll create same size file for thumbernail.
So here is 2 question.
1) In vbb 3.6 image files are still duplicated?
2) Is there any option to allow users to upload files (for example) up to the 1Mb of size, but have the option to resize big image too, not only create thumbernail. The point here is that users rarely bore to resize images to 100Kb, and can't upload them, but in same time we can't let them keep 1Mb files images, so we want an option to resize big images too.

1. Sorry, I don't understand this question.

2. Yes, vB 3.6 resizes images but only if you have GD or ImageMagick installed on the server and your Image Settings set correctly.

1) Probably more correctly we describe it here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php?do=view&bugid=4245
we are not sure if to wait until it fixed in 3.0.x or upgrade to 3.6.x
2) We wanna have next way... we upload our (for example) 1Mb file and 1024x1024... then forum resize it to 640x640 (NOT creating PREVIEW but original image resize) and we don't need to keep 1Mb file. Is it possible?
The it will looks like user just upload 640x640 image and it'll save his time to resize (users are lazy to make proper sizes before upload) and it'll save our place to keep images:)

1. Still not sure wwhat you mean.

2. You can disable thumbnails and still allow resizing if that's what you mean. If not, then I don't understand.

You are using very complicated terminology to describe what I think is a very simple thing.

User uploads 1024 x 768.
Forum generates 640 x 480 and deletes 1024 x 768.

Is that correct?

He seems to be saying that if the thumbnail size is 120 x 90 and you upload an image smaller than that, it still creates a thumbnail size.

Both correct.
