But anyway, no there are no reasons whatsoever why I won't let you clutter up the forum with little pr0n images. None at all. I'm just completely unreasonable.
Maybe posting again will counteract the change of mind incurred by the original... prolly not.
Mr. K: I'm just completely unreasonable.
I already knew that...

Either way it's pretty superfluous though.
That's done anyways.
CrystalMeth: As if the forum wasn't cluttered enough already with the junk the new software has added. But that's just my opinion, and I don't count for anything.
I'm pretty sure there's a LOT of stuff in UBB 6.0 that K's already disabled besides avatar... I think the member ratings are the only feature added. (The new look isn't a new feature IMO.) Does UBB 6.0 have polls like vBulletin?
And if there aren't, I think AH should switch over to phpBB or vBulletin... I know both of them push that they can reformat UBB databases.
-MK

I'm pretty sure there's a lot you don't know squat about. This would be one of those things.
I think the member ratings are the only feature added.
Cutting the storage size in half would be another.

Nope. Again, another good thing.
And if there aren't, I think AH should switch over to phpBB or vBulletin...
Are you going purchase/maintain them?
</stupid question>
It's kinda neat, and I'd turn it on if I knew people wouldn't abuse it, but they will, so I won't. Too much work for something that's cute, but useless.

Password-protected user profiles; can be modified by user
That feature has apparently been disabled. :P
Private forums and Archives
I don't see any of those!
Set BB fonts, table widths, colors, and graphics and Turn Forums on/off
Those features aren't employed either...
It doesn't seem like you're using the feature to take a user's ability to post away... otherwise I'm sure I'd be silenced.
Mr. K: Nope. Again, another good thing.
How so? Have you ever seen a vBulletin poll? They're much nicer than our current make shift ones...
Mr. K: Are you going purchase/maintain them?
vBulletin costs a fraction of UBB and phpBB is free.
Jivera: It's not like you delete any now anyways.
Yes, I do.

No, it hasn't.

They aren't "disabled", they just aren't useful. If I had a private forum, you'd just bitch that you weren't allowed in.
You're grasping at straws.

Yes, they are.

You're an idiot.
How so?
Polls would be annoying, because they would clutter the joint up and immediately be used for what we've seen current polls used for..."Who's the coolest Azure personality?", etc.
I thought for a moment they might have a use for something like determining rules for a Pokemon challenge or something, but even then they're not useful because only the people involved in the match should be voting. A discussion thread is much more useful.
The closest thing we have to a poll now is the user ratings, which you turned off. I guess you're just not interested in the options I have provided you.
vBulletin costs a fraction of UBB...
So buy one and start your own forum. This UBB is paid for.
...and phpBB is free.
...and it's virtually identical to the UBB.
I dunno even know why I'm wasting my time...

Azure has always been the best laid-out forum I have seen, and having crappy little pictures of anime characters (or whatever) stuck along the left-hand side won't make it any more so.

Anyway, Jiv, before you waste any time responding to the above, pay attention:
It's just like when they ban beer in some stadiums and gum in movie theatres and theme parks...the management doesn't do these things because they are fascist sons of bitches who want to prevent you from enjoying simple pleasures...they do it because it's the practical thing to do when there is a big problem caused by something that's not worth the trouble...
...just like when I had to turn off the post count, to stem the endless tide of "This is my 100th post!" messages.
You're just arguing now because you're pissed at me, not because you have any valid points to make...
I thought it was 700th post by AECG... regardless it took me a week to notice that post count was gone. :-/
Azure Heights has always been the best looking forum, in my opinion, and it doesn't need these avatars and icons cluttering the place up, and removing a part of the forums unique-ness (is that a word, ah, who cares).
Gamewinners has just recently upgraded to Vbulletin. Al has already disabled the PM, custom rankings, member rankings, and avatars. He has left the color text on, though. What a fun thing indeed....
Basically, we can live without the little pictures, people. We have for this long. I guess it's the thing about knowing something is there, and knowing you can't have it. Deal with it.
This is UBB, not vBulletin. :P
It doesn't bother me that font stuff is disabled... I think some of it ends up looking just plain stupid when people insist on using poor contrasting colours.

They aren't. I just added it to the end of my message which you couldn't really prevent unless you removed images all together.
Nice banner, though.
Thx. Just screwing around with Photoshop s'more.
Well isn't that why Karp Park is there for? not to just talk about avatars but I mean like nything in general. .
I don't think you're worth that much in his eyes.
But seriously...I know what's bad “about avatars is if people post very short messages,” but can you/what if you disable the “i have mah pwn avatar i r 1337!” function, and only make it (by restricting the size to like 32×32 or something) so we can use this size for avatars or smaller?
You could have it that we can only have pokémon avatars as well—
This just came to me! You wouldn't even have to find new pics to kill both birds with one stone!
Jumpman16
[insert one-liner here]
Just an idea—don't bother if it's not worth your time to restrict avatars to these /looky/icons/*.gif images. I just think it'd be pretty cool to at least have a pokémon avatar.
