  • Pictures of us by our post!

    Why cant we have a picture by our name that appears every time we post?
    We could put a photo or a drawing we like or something.

    Anyone else like this idea?

      But maybe they're afraid we're going to put large pictures in our signature too...we won't, no really

            The pictures would load from our own servers, so they would not make the apolyton server any slower...

                  This is done on EZboard forums, and lots of sites smaller than Apolyton use EZboard. It doesn't seem to make them any slower. Of course, seeing everyones personalized pictures is unbearable smarmy.

                    Er... no, it wouldn't change the Apolyton server, but the one who opens the page should read all the pictures(esp. if he has a crappy browser that stops loading the page for loading the pictures)...

                    WASTED!

                      Sounds like a bad idea. Frankly I'm not interested in your pictures

                      When I saw it I thought this thread was going to be about a more interesting topic: do you have an image of what other Apolytoners look like through their posts?

                        You always get some smartarse who uses a 500kb animated gif or shockwave toon. That's why.

                          Well it could have certain GUIDELINES to where they can't use something that big. Maybe a 32X32 pixel gif. Here's an icon of me I use on a chat site http://members.theglobe.com/LaChulita/ICON.GIF

                          It's KIND of a good idea but there's really no point to it. *shrugs*

                            Fx the picture in the link below is from "my own server" (or more precisely my insernet providers server.) If it was not for the (irritating!) ban on images in offtopic I could have imbedded it in this post. http://hjem.get2net.dk/thue_janus_kristensen/duh.png

                              Then get a non-crappy browser. On linux that would be mozilla or konquror. On windows or MAC it would be IE.
