How about the text?

[Henrik]

I don't like this at all

[Jamski]

I don't like either - just thought I'd make my op-onion felt.

It's not that bad... but the image could at least appear in a pop-up window...

... or not, considering how many people hate pop-ups.

Hm, I think I don't like this at all.

[Cyrion]

Don't like it...

horsie is just a simple shell script. he wouldn't work as an attachment.

I can't even view those attachments at all in Konqueror, I get a message telling that I'm unauthorized. I checked the HTTP headers and it seems that Konqueror doesn't send the bbuserid field of the cookie... hm. This probably means a bug report at kde.org... although it does seem like the cause could be rather obscure.

I'll dump the headers here for reference:

Poor Ari that you have to be without picture attachments in Konqueror now. Hopefully Markos will implement the old system again soon.

[Solver]

Yeah, let's make Horsie an attachment too! Now as we are optimising everything.

Now, Markos, this is one of the worst ideas you've had .

It certainly makes SLeague Graphics Showcases interesting.

I dislike it. You can't even use the "Back" button, because it takes you back to the redirect screen, which takes you forward again (+1 popup).

Use Opera. It's the only browser that always lets you use the back button (even on evil SSL sites that try their best to disallow that feature).

Why not put everybody on everyone's ignore lists, so that when you read a thread you have to click on each post to open it up and read it?

[Straybow]

Can we put ourselves on ignore? Nothing worse than reading a really boring post and suddenly realizing it was your own.

Can't say that I've ever experienced this phenomenon. Must just be you.

[Gramphos]

Isn't there an option for this in the CP if you like it? Does the images take that mush on the server load?

[Static Universe]

Ming closed my thread and pointed me here.

Whenever I try to save an image on Poly it only gives me the option to save it as "untitled.bmp". All other sites work just fine as far as saving images. I use IE 6.

For example, I try to save a smilie, I get "untitled.bmp." I try to save an avatar, I get "untitled.bmp."

It caused me some confusion the other day trying to create some civgroup icon for ACDG when I though TKG was posting BMPs and they were really gifs.
