Using img in user signature

Doctor Drive · 2010-11-12 20:07:56

Why is img tag disabled in user signature?
I think it might be neat using it.

I wanted to put this

to my signature...

It is an image that automatically updates (so, every time I upgrade kernel the image updates to a server and I will not have to play with my signature every time I change something on my system)...

Because people will put stuff like

in their signatures...

So what... I mean it's not so bad...

i dislike it because some users will add animated gif and those kinda suck

You can disable animated images, large images, more them two images.. And stuff like that

Because these forums are like Arch, simple and light weight.

Well... U should disable avatars and smiles then
Also on some forum engines (dunno how bout fluxbb) are options like "show signatures [on/off]". If someone doesn't like em one could disable showing it...

Because it would introduce a risk of abuse - and add nothing to the community that would offset that risk.

Because people with images in their signatures suck and it is important to us that the Arch forums are not filled with people who suck.

Although not stated in the most polite manner, quite true!

Plain text (and its derivatives) rules.

People suck in first place. Stupid signatures are the results. Not the opposite

===============================================

But by using only text one can't make auto updating signatures.

We're not enabling the use of images in signatures. Simple as that.
