Are there any rules about using image tags [img] on the BBS?
I recently enabled the [img] tags in vB in all forums mostly just to see what people would do with them. (Since vB strips out HTML in messages, an [img] tag is a special puesdo-HTML UBB tag that lets you embed a link to an image inside a message.) When using [img] tags keep in mind: • Since posting pictures wider than about 400 pixels really messes up the screens for folks and makes the site look like crap, images are automatically shrunk to 90×90 pixel images. • Posting images that are large (byte-wise) slows page load times down to a crawl for people with dial-up connections. • Posting pictures of disgusting things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand is annoying. We’ve all seen extruded anuses, wounds full of maggots, and German porn with people eating each other’s excrement. Big whoop. Isn’t that exciting.
