Default Do we want...

Thought I'd broach a few subjects here, open a few worm cans....

Do we want...

1.) to allow images (other than smilies) in signatures? Problem is...I'm not yet seeing where I could restrict the SIZE of 'em if we allow 'em...but it may be that I have just not found where yet

2.) to have an option for a different 'skin'? Potentially we can allow people to choose from another option besides what you're seeing...just not sure how much work it'd be and the header (all the site links and above) would remain the same for all. Or would you guys just prefer I change some of the existing colors...

3.) to allow for user reputation and warning points? I have some research to do, but we can set things up so that other members can 'vote in' points to other members....and mods/admins can put in warning points when posters insult other members, etc. What I don't know is how it all works and how 'bogus' it can get in practice....and whether the 2 points systems are connected.

I say yes, if you can find a restriction on size. Or at least enforce it. If you cant find a auto restriction, have a mod or admin tell that person to get rid of it and get a smaller one.

Personally I like the color set we have now. Green = the color of Money. And since this site deals with the exchange of stocks for money...i think it is fitting. If you need to change something, I'd go with the skin idea.

I think that the rep-points thing is kind of a cool knick-knack thing. Here I think it would get used correctly. At the USCHO.com boards its abused, with many people giving neg-rep just because they said the other persons team sucked. I don't put much stock into it, but It's neat to see what others think about your comments.

1) Yes. If it's a server load issue, then restrict photos to URL links. If it's still a server issue (I don't know how all that works), then make it a $$ pay feature. Size limitations of nothing wider than the standard message width and nothing longer than 1/3 a page (give or take) would probably be a good idea though.

2) Same here. Anything over and above what we're used to or what we need to participate on this website could/should be a pay feature.

3) No opinion.

For all three questions, I have no preference myself, but I do like the green color a lot!

1.) I'd say no. There are kiddies around after all, and all you need is one muppet with a new account.

2.) I hate the colour of money, but only because it's different from normal. Once we get used to it'll be fine.

3.) Allow them for a while, and see how it goes. If it's getting abused, turn it off

1) we have photos allowed for avatars and posts, in a sig it may be worth sacrificing to save speed and storage issues.

2) skins are cool, if simple to offer. could be cool to allow folks to customize them, and the pay feature idea makes sense also. edit: and the new colors...LOVE 'EM. Looks great, and an appropriate mix / balance.

3) points may be cool. I'd like to see how the rating of topics on the boards goes, now that it functions for the first time ever.

Just to clarify - when I said "1/3 of a page" I meant 1/3 of the viewable page - as in what you can see without scrolling up and down. Maybe something no longer than than this (384x256):



And no wider than this (750x260):

Is that the one you were considering selling? Or the new one you bought?
