Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-35616940-20190102124556/@comment-9605025-20190110021454

As far as I am aware, the topic of mobile v. desktop hasn't even been brought-up yet. My understanding of the thread so far:
 * Sebastian Clarke wanted to know if one could manipulate the display of images to mimic things like cropping while avoiding the need to actual crop and re-upload (or upload multiple cropped versions).
 * KockaAdmiralac pointed out the vignette lets you do this but it would require use of hot linking; so it can't be used with typical image syntax, galleries, infoboxes, etc.
 * I proposed, without doing any initial research, that one might be able to write some custom JS to replace the src attribute used for the images.
 * I concluded, after doing some investigation, that it would be an involved task if one wanted to have the capability for the typical image syntax, galleries, infoboxes, etc.
 * Due to the multiple differences in HTML for the typical syntax alone, never mind galleries and whatnot.
 * Due to lazy loading encoding the image until it is actually loaded.
 * Fngplg disagrees with me on the 2nd sub-bullet of the previous list item.
