300920 2004-12-08 00:05:00 i sure hope we do, and i hope we get to keep our usernames, and also hope that it will not be slower due to the new features, but at the moment and as usual it is pretty fast, even on dial up, i hope they keep us in mind :) Prescott (11)
300921 2004-12-08 01:21:00 A post count doesn't matter. It's just a number.

I just hope the new software doesn't provide "avatars" and signatures. Particularly signatures are just an annoyance and waste of diskspace.

300922 2004-12-08 01:24:00 and how much diskspace would 3 lines of text waste?

They do after all add a bit of personality,and in the case of avaters...colour.

Plus of course each user has the ability to not display them if they so wish.

300923 2004-12-08 01:30:00 Try 4952 x3 x (say) 20 bytes for you? It adds up to a lot of wasted space. As well as becoming tedious, very quickly. After the second time it is seen.

We see a damn sight too much "personality" and "colour" sometimes.

300924 2004-12-08 01:33:00 Well,Thats only your opinion, No need to kneecap the features for others,I personally can't imagine how a small text sig would effect anybody.

Hardly matters anyhow as Bruce has already said they won't be enabled.

300925 2004-12-08 02:13:00 i would not mind sigs at all , it could save you time in some instances , avators can sometimes take a while to load especially with threads with heaps of replies noone (22)
300926 2004-12-08 02:20:00 I thought I was an avid reader of this sort of thing,but seemed to have missed this,where is info to be found.? Thomas (1820)
300927 2004-12-08 02:22:00 same here - thats why i posted this thread , anyone got a link to somewhere explaining all this , or is it all just word of mouth noone (22)
300928 2004-12-08 02:29:00 Pretty sure it was in one of the stickes,one of the large ones.

Anyhow Bruce said the creaters of vbulliten were writing an app to transfer all the posts and user database,and that sigs and avaters wouldn't be enabled,His reasoning being that the...uh...i won't use the word he described then by but Flotus would fit the description....would use them for disrupting the forum,although they can just use posts to do that rather then upload an offensive gif.....


Now that i think of it,If a search was done for the word he used then that will bring up the info,Polutus even managed to try and put Bruce in his place over it.....lmao.
