SDS Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm thinking since this community is a bit more well behaved, that maybe we should have the ability to upload pictures in threads. Those posts with the pylon and the plastic sheet goalie are hilarious. Is this a feature that is wanted or can no good come of this? We could always limit this to those you have "X" amount of posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Seats Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 500 post minimum seems reasonable. Otherwise, if you have something really important (and if you're <500) you can post it to the photos section or link from flikr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I agree. Those pictures are hilarious. The Vikings board look-alike thread was priceless. I would prefer though, that users be given the option of turning off pictures, or blocking pictures from certain users rather than having a minimum post requirement to post them. Some of us are here every day but dont post much, and it would still be nice to be able to add a humorous picture for the right occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin'Weasel Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think being able to post images would be great. However I disagree with the minimum post count restriction. I have been helping out with the graphics for this site as best I can. I have had to post them on my own webspace and put a link to them here rather than just uploading here. But because I am under 500 posts I'd still be unable to upload here. I think it would just have to be watched by mods and hand out warns/bans to those who just don't get it.

TM8-PL16 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think it's a good idea... but i think we need to limit the size of each picture or something...dome other boards that allow pics don't limit the size and pages get super long because people put images in their signatures that are 400 pixels tall for example... maybe if we do it, limit the posted picture size to 650 pixels (just throwing it out there) and limit the images in signatures to say 100 pixels. I'm not super cool with the idea of the 500 posts being the eligibility number... I'm with screamin' weasel on this... I've posted some stuff on my own site in the past as well.

I would say absolutely no signature pictures. They make some boards almost unreadable. It's one of the things I really like about this board and TSW. I would have a default minimum post count to be allowed to post pictures, but if it doesn't create too much work for the mods, I'd also let people request the priviledge if they haven't met the minimum post count. Either way, if they abuse it, they're out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Images in signatures is not being considered... I was thinking more like 50 posts for a limit. That is enough to prevent a drive-by porn submission. This could also be overridden on a member by member basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Just my thoughts. 1) The 50-post min. makes sense, as would 25 or 75. Gotta set it somewhere, but like the weasel said, I hope it isn't too high. I'm sure there are posters with fewer posts than I have (their posts probably are more meaningful anyway) with better camera skeelz. 2) No picture in signature lines really makes sense. 3) What's wrong with a little porn?

JujuFish Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm all for a trial run. But, as has been mentioned, we absolutely should not allow pictures in signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I added it for this forum for all members. Makinga post threshold is slightly more difficult than I thought, but doable if necessary... I hope it isn't necessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will third that. All the message boards that allow pictures become unreadible, b/c too much flashy stuff. It becomes like watching football on Fox witht the stupid robots jumping around.

It becomes like watching football on Fox witht the stupid robots jumping around. You guys are totally misreading this. Allowing the occasional picture to be posted does not mean, in any way shape or form, that every thread is going to be bombarded with flashing images.... If it happens, we'll stop it.

If that's the case, I am on board as well...I also like the restrictions based on number of posts and restricting image sizes. Nothing irritates me more than having to scroll sideways to read a post because someone put in an oversized pic, screwing up the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Are we talking about hotlinking to an external source, like PhotoBucket or ImageShack, or are we talking about actually loading the images up to the SabreSpace.com server?
