Title: about hosing yer own user pics
Post by: mm on February 01, 2002, 10:52:38 AM
i dont have any problem with members hosting thier own pics for two reasons

1. they can change it when they like, and i dont have to be involved
2. its less work for me to edit the control panel

as you can see, both reasons benefit my lazy behind

but there lies a possible problem with this, i lose control.  i lose control of what content the picture contains and the size of the picture itself.

so we\'ll make a deal, if you follow the guidelines

all pics must me NO MORE than 100x100 pixels in width/height, and the total size [kb] has to be reasonable.  no 100k animated gif\'s.  also, no profranity or any sort of nudity.  

easy?

bah!  too many people have pics, too many people are changing their pics..what happened to the rules???

why dont you make this as some kind of reward for moderators/people who work on the site/ and a reward for people who have...say...over 3000 posts...

??  i tink \'tis a good idea...

So how do we go about doing this? Do we pm you the link?

And how many bytes is 100k?

not a bad idea since i have space now :) sounds pretty good, but since you are the lazy mod, who ACTUALLY thought about this idea?? ;)

i actually like the idea of people having a little control over thier user pics

dont you get tired of seeing clyde shake his dirty head at you
/me ducks flying poop! :eek:

i think it will freshen up the forum seeing different pics all the time, plus give people to show some artistic traits

mop, 1024 kb is one meg.  

so 100 kb is roughly one tenth of a meg.

it would take a 56k\'r about 20 seconds to download a 100 kb pic
far too long.  

yer pic is 4544 bytes, or 4.544 kb
that would take a 56k\'r less than one second to download

I\'m gonna PM you a couple and ask if they are too big. Both have 125 pixels either vertically or horizontally.

I don\'t think my lady is anything under 1MB cause she has like 400 frames :D

But I find myself an exception to the rule and I don\'t think any 56k\'er will regret the wait of a page being downloaded when they host their eyes on my avatar!

:cool:
