First off, I must say that these forums are the most calm, and laid-back forums out there. I am very impressed that everything is kept under control. Personally, am pretty neutral in profanity in forums, it really doesn’t bother me at all, but I don’t like it when it’s over-used, even though I use it on occasion. For some reason though, I have only used a very small few times here, and I think it was al in topics about scalpers. ;) I have to thank everyone here for his or her restraint in posting stuff like that.
This comes after Big B’s post on the lack of [ img] code. I just want to know why we don’t have it, I don’t know if it’s because you are afraid people will post porno pics with it, or something like that, but honestly, I don’t think anyone would dare to do it.
The only reason I am posting this thread is to get an honest answer on why we don’t have it, as that didn’t happen in Big B’s thread, for whatever reason. If it’s because you are afraid of the loading times, I would like to say that I am on 56k, and I would prefer that we have the [ img] coding. It saves me having to follow other links around, and having a whole bunch of windows open. Also, we could add our own smilies right into the posts. This can be very handy, especially since you have a limited selection here. ;)
For those of you that don’t know what it is, you can instead of finding a picture online, saving it to your hard-drive, then attaching it, (after re-sizing, if necessary) you can just right-click on it, and hit properties to get the url for it. Then, all you have to do is paste the link in the window like so: [ img]http://whatever.com[/img ] and the image would show up right in the post.
Is there any way that we could just try it out for maybe a month, and see how it goes?
