Re: HEY IB: Requests
I can think of two votes right off the bat, bigger avatars (140/70 pixels is small by forum status). And we have always liked the idea of different colored patron names. You want us to pay the 5 bucks a month again (mine hasn't run out from when you did not own it)... then indulge us a little if you will.
The userinfo breadcrumb takes up enough space as it is, which is why patrons only get larger (in width) + animated avatars and that there's no easy way without a bunch of hacking to let users have individual colored usernames (you guys couldn't pick a new color last time it was suggested to change).
Personally I hope they could just fix the performance issues, but I have little faith at this point

Short of a completely different system being implemented (i.e. not just a rep reset), that's not happening.

Re: HEY IB: Requests
That is the thing though. Space should not be an issue for them at this point. They have TONS of server space I'm sure, and can do with a little show of faith.

Re: HEY IB: Requests
Server space has nothing to do with it, I meant visual space, i.e. the room the userinfo block takes up on a page. Look at your post for example, currently it takes up about as much space as the post itself you made. Probably ~50% of the page is "useless" information. I don't want to make it any higher by allowing avatars with greater height. I'm just glad there's a way to make it signatures only appear once per page per user.

Re: HEY IB: Requests
Ok I understand a bit better, so a more simple page. Gotcha.
But then just make it so the join date and all that stuff shows up once a page, like the sigs do or something similar. Just condensed I guess.
I mean, its not just a request for them to do things, its really just...
They are being dicks, quit it.
