how come signiture image embeding is not allowed?

 

Sorry if it was answerd. Im new here.

because it's distracting when you're trying to read a forum.

i thought viewing a quick image rather lightened up a forum, the current layout is much more distracting. Your reading someones "intelligant" post and then you start reading there sig accidently. That seems more of a distraction to a picture.

As far as I know it is enabled but its use is limited because, as ecoli said, it can break a thread and disrupt the flow of the thread so its limited for that reason alone.

 

The same is also true for the bubble tags.

Indeed. It can be distracting. Trust me, try looking on Neowin and you'll see what I mean.

 

You learn to ignore people's signature text, as there's a divider, and you can also turn them off in your control panel.

It's not limited usage; we never enabled it in the first place

 

But yes, the reason is that it breaks up the continuity of the thread.

Umm...

 

 

Apparently it works...

They are referring to using the image tags in a signature.

 

You're meant to be able to use them in posts! It's sigs where they are disabled.

Oh... though the bubble was GD?

The bubble works in GD and a few other random places, maybe here, lets try:

 

If this works can I have a donut? .... yay, I get a donut!

 

[edit] Like I said, bubbles are meant for GD but work in a few other random places, maybe HW or somewhere random like that, it doesn't work in any of the main sciences or maths or computers or anything.

 

[edit2] you do meant bubbles like what I just did, because it's totaly seperate from the tags this thread is about, you do bubbles with the [bubble] tag.

I know

 

Apparently it works in sigs for some odd reason...

Oh yeah, indeed it does, I'm sure it's not meant to.

 

No one does it at the moment, so need to change it... but if it's simple to change can I ask an admin/mod to fix that anyway? Because I really agree with Cap'n and dave that it breaks up threads and I dislike it.

Should be easy to do - I belive there is already a way to remove xxx from sig so all that should be required is to add a new control option and then extend the image remover

Well it's not that simple, but I'll take a look.

 

Adds it to the ever mounting to-do list...

Sorry to bog ya down - you need some server admins to do the work for you

Images only seem to work in certain subforums and are disabled in others...

Care to tell us which ones? Looking through a few random ones, the Posting Rules box says that img is on.

 

This thread is about images in signatures, by the way.

The Philosophy & Religion forum is the main one.

Yeah, sorry to derail...

The Philosophy & Religion forum is the main one.

 

Probably because if a conflict got out of hand then it may be abused.... Not shure though it just seems odd that its the only one where it does not work
