msg board suggestions

[agenex]

Suggestions:

1. allow pictures in signatures

2. allow "slightly" larger avatars say 160x80 -- longer avatars are not to intrusive to clutter up the message boards by moving over the width - and avatars are fun!

We're not going to allow images in signatures because frankly people get retarded with the size of the images, they also put animated garbage in there. When I'm trying to read what someone has to say I don't need to watch an image of a cocker shooting a paintball over and over in someone's sig. And I don't want to see a 300x400 image of your team name, and neither do most other people. You can put a link in your signature so you can link to your team website there. It just allows the forums to remain clean and used for what are intended, conversation.

And it can get annoying and for those still using 56k modems. It makes it harder for them to use the forums because they have to load each persons 100k signature image. Just because a lot of us have cable and DSL doesn't mean everyone does. And if you play paintball but still throw down with dialup, you should be able to view the forums quickly just like everyone else.

I'll check out the avatar thing and get back to you.
