My suggestion has to do with pictures.

 

 

 

Idea 1 : Thumbnails.

 

 

 

Lets say a picture over the size of 200X200 will be automatically thumbnailed. When you click it, it will show the actual version.

 

 

 

Idea 2: An option to only show the image in tags.

 

 

 

Instead of

 

 

 

picture

 

 

 

You would see:

 

 

 

 

 

 

My dad is being an a-hole so Ill edit this tomarrow.

Idea 1 would require so much server load it isn't worth it and isn't going to happen, sorry.

 

Idea 2 is plausible, but would take a while to do, if I'm not mistaken. (To make the UCP option and change the template files)

About a week or two ago, there was a thread on the exact same thing. I don't know if it can be implemented, but if you have Firefox, then you can download a program that allows you to preview what is on the page. The link is located here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4999

How about making 2 separate switches in user profiles... One that allows "disabling"/"total hiding" of signatures, and one that allows disabling of avatars. Then dial-up users can see avatars, without seeing signatures, and can even have an option to show sigs on click-to-view. Problem solved. :)

Well... First of all, you can already hide signatures. But to make a button that loads it would have to be a mod.

Ouch. :ohnoes: (As in, I can probably expect to see this happen on the 5th of never, because we don't need to go bloating the PhpBB3 code with extra mods.)

The only problem with a mod is that it takes so long to code and test, and the admins have more important things to do with the main website under attack. TIF has a lot of modifications already, the admins aren't afraid to change large amounts of code. If you have any idea how modded the TIF installation of PHPBB2 was, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I use IE8 (Just came out yesterday).

This is basically what I was saying.

I look in UCP and couldn/t find a thing on changing signitures.

UCP > Board Settings > Display Settings; display options for signatures, avatars and images are found there.

 

 

 

Disabling images turns every image in a post into a link to said image, including signature images.

Im currently on my phone and switched images off and its fine so if you switch them nothing else needs to be done

I thought there was a button like that, but wasn't sure. So, there you go! :
