I don't know how phpBB works under the hood but I think other phpBB forums have this functionality.

i'm too lazy to do this myself, why is this not automated like on facebook/iphone/whateverapp!
autoresizing images
- is not what everybody wants/needs
- puts a LOT of extra stress on the servers
- means the images have to be stored on the server = lots of storage (and who's going to pay for that)
many people don't seem to realize that lots of text takes much less storage than just one image.
the whole bible can be downloaded with 4 - 5 MB - that's less than an average mobile phone .jpg.
i think the best solution would be to simply reject images beyond a certain file size.
