Don't you think Mintman has better stuff to work on than whatever it is that you're talking about. I don't know about you, but I'd rather him work on BD RPG before whatever it is that you're talking about.

Well I dunno about you, but wouldn't you think making BD RPG may take a little longer then making a little extra thing in the forums? I am lord of the lair my lair

1) This should be under the post declaring the new forum as that is where all posts about the development of this forum belong.
2) Stop using the coffee face. You are making it less cool through over-use.
3) If you are talking about one of those images that are always at the top cornor of a UBB forum, then no. This site is very bandwidth-skimpy and will stay very image poor. There is nothing more detestable than a long-loading site.
If I can acquire a new server that gives unlimited bandwidth, then possibly as I do love to make pictures. "Mmmmmm, unexplained bacon." - Homer

1) Well sorry then.
2) coffe face? So thats what it is, well I was taxing it, I shall now go to the constipated face.
3) No I mean a little image on the left hand side underneath the name (and forum rank!) but above the posts number. of course all the users do is find the pic they want then put in a URL for that pic so it shows up underneath there name, much like a sig.
4) there was no 4. I am lord of the lair my lair

Well, that wouldn't up the band width (i think) any, but it would still bog down the loading time of a page. Especially since some really dumb people put images that are too large in those spots, so even though it's shrunken to a 50x50 pic, it'll load as a 1000x1000. Lousy jerks...

This isn't constipated; it's the XD face, which is supposed to be laughter.
... yeah, I guess I could make it look better.
Oh, you meant the under-name pics! Those things suck! They all have to be forced into the same size frame, I have to edit them for appropriateness, and worse of all, some people choose giant pictures to squeeze in little areas (like you did at Arena Terrae :/) making pages take forever to load.
I can say with some certainty that I shall never be doing that.

Well, sure this stuff has been in need of fixin' since December, but... now you all can stop complaining about it! You may not edit your accounts via the lovely link atop every page. That, and those pesky page numbering errors are all gone.
So, I do believe that settles everything that the forums needed save the working Smiley code and password protecting the Gym Leader's forum (which I might not even do).

Yes.... he does.... I remember reading "You are NOT at Realitysend.com" for a long time. Maybe it's some kind of disease. I just hope you don't name any vars with "now" or "not" in them. That would be fun debugging, eh?

Why did you just quote what I said without saying anything? That's just... weird.... oh well, I need to edit my signature. Hopefully I don't break anything

Daz-nabbit! Don't put images in your sigs. Awww, I'm going to have to block that sooner than I thought...
Actually, the Now-Not phenomenon is a simple one to explain. I am a very negative person, and I don't like using contractions that much (ignore the one earlier in this sentence). As such, I am more prone to using "not". My fingers are programmed to move in that motion instead of one for the 'w'.
Similar stuff happens when I program all the time. Sometimes I'll look for a bug in the code lurking deep somewhere when in fact it was due to a stray finger. Bad hand!
*stabs self*
That... probably was not the brightest of ideas....

Well, don't be so negative all the time and maybe that wouldn't happen! ;)

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I constantly find myself writing "stupiod" instead of "stupid" and "functoin" instead of "function" Luckily I catch it easily enough, because... I'm talented I guess.
Random memory: *Cough* I remember back in the day.... when I first learned how to program. It took a week to figure out a problem I had. I had been just typing
goinn()
{
blablabla
}"
instead of:
function goinn()
{
}
oohh... that was annoying.... Endless Horizon: http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/verdegym

Well, you said the forum was done, but edit account isn't on all the pages. On the view the thread page, edit acount isn't an aviable option. Just telling you... Experience the Game! XP The GameCommand & Conquer Experience CnC XP

I dunno, I find avatars are one fun way of making yourself appear different from the rest of the crowd on a BB, BB's with minimal features everyone looks the same, even if you have a pre-loaded set of Avatars it still means the users can have a little more individuality...
Some of Ryuu's Avatars from various boards
Battletech boards, Black and White boards, Boards that accept Pokémon, and random site where I'm using a dragon respectivly that would kill me for using a Pokémon...
...although I'm probably a bad example, too many newbies don't understand how to use a paint package to modify the image to a good size/format, then reupload it - after all, Microshaft Paint doesn't support anything but PCX and BMP.
Oh well :(

Speaking of Avatars Ryuu, I thought you were going to send me one for you to use on my board(or did you give that up?)

...that was months ago I said that...
Every time I visit, I got the feeling your board was... somewhat... dead? - an average of 7 posts a year :/
