This would be a mod I'd love to have as well.
While resizing photos may only take me a few seconds, it's a huge stumbling block for the average internet user. Most users want to take photos directly from their phones or camera and simply attach them directly to a post. It's probably one of the most common complaints from users on my site. I get multiple emails every week from users asking me why their photos won't attach to their messages. I cut and paste the same response from my FAQ page with simple direction on resizing their photos but plenty of users just can't figure it out.
I found this old link but I'm no programmer (I'm just a hack who can butcher code enough to occasionally make it work):

It seems like a mod could be written to check files types on upload/attachment and if they are '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.png' etc… then resize them to a specific height or width. In the second tutorial it even has instructions on resizing photo on the client side to speed upload time:

Honestly it seems like it's a pretty do-able Phorum mod in principle for someone with coding knowledge. I'd love to tackle it but I don't have the first idea where to start when it comes to writing a mod. I'm just dangerous enough to make small modification to some of the great mods already written (and I hardly ever know why my hack worked or didn't). I don't know how many active Phorum coders/users there are, but I think this could be an extremely useful mod in today's cell phone camera crazy society.
