Quote:This needs to be sorted, allowing uploaded images and not allowing manual img tags in signature blocks.Originally Posted by FatherXmas
Then I guess this warning (Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 600 by 120 pixels or 146.5 KB (whichever is smaller) ) only applies to uploaded sig images and not ones embedded in a text sig with [img] tags then. -
Quote:Completely agree, in fact I pointed out the very same in the forum suggestion thread!Originally Posted by AkuTenshiiZero
Found it just after I posted. I was kinda hoping for the Arachnos emblem to replace the stars, seems weird to leave that little detail out. Meh, oh well.

Also, no option for a villain theme yet, or am I not looking hard enough?

Quote:A text search would search through all of the text in the forums and a moderator would have to trawl through posts as well as signatures plus links in text sigs don't necessarily have to have apparent descriptors in either and would require someone clicking on it and then reporting it. Plus posting an image is hard evidence for the mods in aid of punishment rather than claims of a "mislink" or quick and easy editable wording.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
Counterargument would be that you can theoretically just do a word search for uncensored words that routinely come up in an offensive context, such as schoolyard level insults. Unless everyone posting a potentially offensive (and I myself really don't worry about offensive per se, I'm rather dulled thanks to the internet) picture names it 'offensive_picture_of_genitalia.jpg' or so.
A picture requires you to wait until a player reports it unless you stumble across it in the pursuit of your regular reading.
Another issue might be that, as they say, you can't unsee things. Descriptions of offensive things unfold and you have the option of not continuing to read unless you're as curious as I am. But stumbling across tubgirl is just that and it's done. Which some can shrug off, while others might have a less robust stomach.
Still arguing for or against is a futile task, each has it's pros and cons. I'm waiting to see the unbiased reaction of a Mod to the issue. -
Quote:That is strange. Was checking myself, all my posts transferred from the old boards have my new sig attached. Perhaps just a forum glitch, pretty busy at the moment.Originally Posted by BillZBubba
Bizarre. Checked my first post upon logging into the new forums and it does now reflect the change. Cool. All good.
Nope. Not quite. Some posts have signature turned on. Some don't. Those that don't must be manually edited to enable it. -
Quote:Try refreshing or refreshing after clearing your browser cache, I didn't have this problem when updating my sig.Originally Posted by BillZBubba
Bummer. I prefer to have all posts, past and future, to show whatever my current sig is. However, I do understand that having it work as is probably causes less strain on the system.
-
Quote:All my posts reflect my current choice in signature rather than the signature they were posted with. I would say that simply refreshing the desired page would solve the issue of previous pages sigs being uncurrent.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
Bill, IIRC vBulletin actually saves the Sig with the post. If you edit your Sig later on, pre-edit posts will retain the old Sig and post-edit ones will receive the new Sig. Unless you do what you did. I actually like this feature because often signatures also represent their times.

Quote:Actually I believe they would require less or no more policing than text signatures. Imo, an image is easier and quicker to see in it's entirety than making sure that the content of a text based signature plus any links with it is appropriate for the forums.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
And while it can certainly be policed, it's frankly not worth the effort. [...] They are an added means of expression, which will require added policing. And some are bound to be shockingly hideous, whether intentionally or unintentionally so.

That was a joke, right?
I can tell we're going to get along just great...lol -
Quote:Sounds like a compromise if it were possible.Originally Posted by LostNinja
I'd both add an option to turn them off if you want and severely reduce the size of them. 600x64 at most.
I like now that you can type reasons when reporting posts. -
Quote:Just manually type the [img ] [ /img] tags and place your link inside.Originally Posted by BillZBubba
I was rather looking forward to it.
Anyway, http://pages.suddenlink.net/dmweb/billz.jpg is it. Simple. Small. Only 500X75 and 13KB. Gives me invalid URL when I attempt to use it.
Also in case anyone forgets, the boards have a specific maximum size, anyone posting with an oversize image can get reported. It would be easier to moderate if images could only be uploaded in the specific sized or less rather than linked.
ASCII text images better than graphical, lol!
Lol I was a few seconds too late! -
Quote:I can do that but I'm not on board with asking the Dev's to prevent them completely. As suggested a few posts above, more options are better than fewer and I agree with that.Originally Posted by Lemur_Lad
I'm willing to chalk it up that you and I can agree to disagree if you can. .
On another subject, I like that you can see who the person was quoting now. Multiquotes are ok, but I'm used to pyramid quoting! :P -
Quote:Honestly, I have to disagree. There are many talented people out there who would probably like to have a canvas bigger than 100x100. Also, imo, text sigs running on from text posts just mean more reading rather than skimming over neat, appropriately sized images.Originally Posted by Lemur_Lad
Avatars should be enough in the way of self expression without sig image making threads longer and more cluttered.
If the Devs can allow an personal option (don't think they can with vBul boards) to turn off img tags from signatures rather than all images, fine. Rather have something available with the option to turn off rather than not having it at all. -
Quote:Don't mean for it to sound like having a go at particular people, but it would be nice if people actually had a look at the options before complaining or whining about something.Originally Posted by Lemur_Lad
It's the first couple hours with a new (for some of us) system. Maybe it would be nicer to point people to where they can change the option instead of giving them a hard time for having a different preference than your's. I finally found what you were talking about, but it took a bit. There are a lot of things to fiddle with and adjust.
But.. just for those coming in late try this link: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/profi...do=editoptions and if you don't want images turn the image options off. -
Quote:You can turn off Graphic images in User options. Besides, some people's Text Sigs are just as bad, listing Every.Single.Character.They.Have.Originally Posted by Muad_Dib
Holy cow, it says I can put a signature pic in too? Man, I hope some of you don't put huge pics in.

So excited about new forums. Won't be as happy if Sig Pics remain active though.Sigh... don't like 'em? Turn off the option in your User CP. KthnxbaiQuote:Originally Posted by DeviousMe
Indeed. The lack of signature pics on these forums was always a plus IMO.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, TURN GRAPHICS IN SIGS OFF!!

Villain skin needs Arachnos Icons instead of Statesman stars for thread icons.
