pictures give me pleasure

[TCO]

If you want to raise the site content grade from A- to A+, add more pictures into the news items.

For instance, there was a news item about a George Bush mod pack for Civ3, with no picture. Now surely all of us (even who don't have Civ3) would want to see one screen shot of that. Also, often a screenshot makes it easier to decide wether to spend the time to download something.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Turn your clock back twelve hours...

Wouldn't adding pictures cause more server load, and slow things down again?

Can the volunteers help? Me?

I agree.

Let's have more aids in news posting.

We will see what we can do, GP, but as Markos pointed out there is a lot of news material to cover on an ongoing basis -- especially in recent weeks -- and getting the story out accurately, efficiently and quickly is the top priority. Indeed images with news stories a nice touch and while a "picture is worth a thousand words", the question that always must always come to mind is whether or not those words effectively describe what it attempting to depict.

Also, note that by following the links provided in a majority of news stories you can see some sort of pictoral representation of the full content (e.g. links that point to threads in the "CivIII Files" forum is a good example).
