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)

People gotta moan about something I suppose. Get those displays out of 640 x 480 and you should all be gtg.

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.

It's our duty as patriots to question the government but please don't question our VV admins!

People gotta be a douche about something I suppose. I have my resolution at 1280x1024 and they still annoy me.

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.

I don't see a reason, but didn't think it was all too important to get all up in arms aboat em.

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.

Not a big fan of them. That Retards picture freaks me the fuck out. It's like a CT reunion screenshot!

i like the idea of having pictures there but the chosen pictures blow. agree with winnow that they should be stylized uniform icons. however, all of this WOULD BE REMEDIED by using a picture of Nick for the retard forum

They're wonderful. After they're added to the AdBlock list and aren't shown anymore.

Really fucking ghey looking. Seriously. Are there no other mods or plugins for phpBB that you guys can play with when you're bored?

They look a bit random and ugly, maybe if they were all the same size it would be fine, I don't really understand the need for em though.

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'm lucky that I can even use my own headphones for call reviews rather than the piece of crap set they give everyone.

You can always try and download VMWare Player(Free) and the Browser appliance VM they're distributing that contains Ubuntu Linux and Firefox.

Sounds like your job is so strict you should probably not browse at all while working. Problem solved!

Nope! I don't have time to post except on breaks. I do occasionally spend a few spare minutes before a meeting browsing and such though.

Yes, make board images for ALL sections and they must be exactly the same size!

It's an improvement!

Yesh! I think Fallout too when i see the pictures.

We just need a Picture for General Discussions so everything will be symmetrical.

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