When I ‘Allow image URLs in comments’ for my Weblog, EE automatically displays the actual image if an image URL is pasted.

Unfortunately, sometimes our users link to large images that then mess up the display of the sidebar. 

Is there a way to automatically resize the images that are posted in comments?  The only other thing I can do is to Not Allow image URLs in comments.

Curious, did you ever find a solution for this?

I tackled this issue by modifying the CSS.  There were some divs that contained the comments and I added “overflow:hidden;” to them.  This still displayed the full image but in order to see it you would have to use scrollbars.  The size of the comments container did not change and so the sidebar was not affected.

Here’s an example of how I used it:

div.comment-container
{
    width:                     13px;
    height:                 13px;
    overflow:                hidden;
}

You will have to try it out on a few divs in your CSS (unless you are a CSS wizard and know exactly where to put it) to make sure you are adding that line to the correct div. 

Hope this helps!
