Found a bug with dbb code not supporting [img]

[Gold Leader]

Hi all

After renewing my sig I used a pic in it of my Y-Wings, just to see if it would work, since this was the one I used since I regged in to this place.

But after checking the possible BB codes usable I did find in the list so it should normally work, but it actually did not


So this seems like a bug to me, I always had that sig here, I thought maybe it's the size, which isn't obvious, the one I wanted to use for my sig is this one:

Powered By The Force, 3dfx & The Descent Rangers:


I thought to post it here, I hope it is the correct place.

I think only those who already had images in their sig were able to use them. However, images added to new signatures would be filtered.

To be honest, I really like that we don't have images in sigs and I do think the ones you're using are too big.

They have yet to enforce a "no image or size limit" to images in sigs.

At this stage it's still a WIP discussion.

Hang tight.

I hope it's a vote...

No vote. Disabled.

Since this post has been moved to the land of oz I'll have to reply here.


uhh... so you agree with the size I specified?


I have yet to hear an argument saying, this is why we NEED pictures in signatures. I have a feeling there won't ever be....

I was going to close this thread but thought people could add their comments. Honestly I see no purpose for images in sigs.

I try to make mine serve some purpose, but it's really not necessary. Especially when looking at how others use it...

I think sigs are ok since people can disable them if they want, but images in sigs always becomes an issue in every online forum I have ever visited that allowed them. So I say no to images.

[Lothar]

Agreed with Krom.

A single image to help identify you (in your avatar) is plenty. We don't need to see images in sigs; they just take up space and make it harder to find the actual content of your post. If you want to post images as art, we have the PTMC Gallery for that. We don't need the same image showing up every time you post, making people have to scroll extra to get to the parts of the thread they actually care about.

Thank you for your input.

The Rules have been updated with the new signature specs.

6 Signatures.
User signatures are turned on by default a user can override this in their "User Control Panel". Users that desire to display a signature will note that there is a 255 max character limit and the signature shall not exceed three lines of text. NO IMAGES will be permitted. We feel your user Avatar is enough for Pilot recognition. Please note that the colors used should not be abusive in nature. (abusive in nature - will be decided on a case by case basis by the mod/admin of the DescentBB

3 lines!??!?!?! Do people really need a whole paragraph? I think it should be one... but oh well..

Isaac ^^

I find your sig abusive in nature do to the texts size being too small making my eyes hurt from squinting plus the colors are too dark to even read it!

Now leave the 3 line max alone.

oooohhhhKAAAyyy!!!!
