yeah its a nice idea... but hell for people on poor dialup, especially 33K like spitfire.
Ive seen it on other forums too... so many pictures and sig-pics that you loose the plot of the thread.
people reply to posts with a single line, yet their sig-pic takes up 15 or 20!

It still suxzor for dialup users.
Consider how slow THGC can get normally, then add to that the download speed of a 33K modem.
<b><i>"Why don't you try practicing random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self-control?"</b></i>
Ooooh no... I tried it... no more picture posting... 
Oh well, anyway, I see your point. It really got slower... Plus, god knows what people might decide to post... And each long thread would take forever to load...

For a forum with picture posting, decent avatars, and sigs....click the link in my sig.
Heh heh!

Cheers X86. In two and a half years here, we've not been able to post pics, and within the first 2 days of it happening, someone complains.
Couldn't have clicked on individual pages? Pics are only slow the 1st time anyway.

I like toms the way it is.
Im used to have no pics. Only info.

All it would need would be an upload feature to an HDD on the THGC servers. You could upload your file, and link to it from the post.
People can browse at their own discretion. Pics get deleted once a thread has reached 3 months old.
Simple, effective and cheap.

No. A URL tag links to a pic on a site. How can I link to my pic if it's not on a site?
This way there's a pic area in the forum, but it's only accessable from the forum it's related to, and it's a choice thing.

Server? I suppose. A hard drive would do, but yes you see what I mean.

Why have them showing on the forum?
They take up space, and either need a browser to have pic disabled, or have to be 'x' size.
Unless.....it's shown on the forum as a thumbnail, and can be opened as a separate window. That would keep the text in the forum from resizing after the post has been made. Yeah, that would work.

Turning off pics is quick and easy. All you'd really miss compared to now is Thomas Pabst's pic, and unless you have a crush on him, you shouldn't miss that too much. (no offense, Tom ).
You could have at least said something first. Just running and crying to Fredi looks like a little tattling kid. I think most of us would have at least tried to work out a solution with you and others (several good ideas were mentioned above) that could have worked out well.

Porn would be posted. It's gonna happen. So would spam.
A good membership, willing to self-mod the site in that respect is crucial. Otherwise the piccies would have to go, or there would be an over 18s section. Actually, I'm amazed the other section hasn't been modded in the last few months. An over-18s only sign is kinda required here now.
