I dont... they break up the streamlined appearance that the board used to have. How do you disable them?

If you are gonna keep pictures, then make them all the same size. (xxx,xxx)

No, people moan when things that used to be right aren't right anymore. If the images were simply put on the right hand of the same horizontal row in some sort of a symmetrical and equally sized pattern, everybody would be happy.

I see no reason FOR the pictures. If they were of a uniform size and not next to the "read/unread" post icon, they would be much less of a distraction.

seriously, why are they there? I see no "artistic" reason for them. Is there some disability law on the net that someone is trying to comply with in order to let people who cannot read search through VV? It looks like shit.

Noting wrong with some drama. It's been light here lately.

Personally I didn't notice them as I'm usually in View New Posts mode. They seem fine to me. However I would agree and at least make them all the same size.

They'd have to be a lot smaller, uniform in size, and transparent gifs or png files to look cool.

If you're using Firefox, download Adblock Plus Plug-In:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

You need only right click on each of the images you don't want to see one time to block them and you'll never see them again.

The built in Firefox blocker will block all images from a domain which isn't desired.

I like the reading forum image so kept that one!

remember - to nuke them all the path is veeshanvault.org/forums/images/forums if you don't want to do each one individually. Those that don't read the site development at the bottom they'll be themed/standardized etc soon (shakes fist at Sy) - In the interim, I'm leaving them up to annoy douchebags, by being one myself

I'd have done my standard post about changes, but everyone else beat me to it :P

hrm, probably


anyways, they'll be back once I get the set in, then we can talk about functionality and positioning. Where it's currently placed is hard coded by the standard default phpbb3 install with no 'click' functionality.

For those who can't install alternate browsers at work you might want to consider a USB flash drive and then a stop over to http://portableapps.com/. Of course that assumes your work PC has a USB interface and that it's not locked down.

Still waiting for what the point of them is, other than to make the board look like ass and add more spam. I'd wager the majority of the visitors here come during work hours. Less graphics and color = more work friendly and less obvious that you're not working.

I think that the picture xyun made of the click (located in the NWS forum) should be sized down for the general forums pic.
