Am I just missing something or is this just stupid? |

| I like quality more than quantity. And 600 posts per day; one per 2 minutes. It's not hard, but I highly doubt all of those posts are constructive, contentful and non-spam. Think about it, how can you properly reply to a thread if you don't even completely read it before replying? Why do people even try to reach something inane as that anyway in the first place, a post layout has as far as I know no special use, at any forum. |

| I never have spyware, virusses (except for Blaster and Sasser, which apperantly almost everyone got) or other unwanted crap installed, because I'm not stupid enough to click the 'OK', 'Accept' or 'Next >' button whenever an unknown window pops up. Oh yeah, and I'm not using Internet Explorer anymore. It's way too easy to mess around with your operating system or browser through Internet Explorer. |

We all like threads to stay 'on topic', but rarely do I see threads where that actually happens. Threads always twist around the 'true' topic a bit. |

| If you look at giving the board flexibility, you could add options for everything; not just the NEW/OFF images, but the banner, avatars, icons, etcetera. And it's not like it would be hard to add at all. But, that involves another important factor, SQL resources. The last thing you want to have on a site or forum is too much SQL resource usage. Everything would become slow as hell and without a doubt, you'd be unable to enter the board plenty of times because of SQL downage. The post layout disabling option is wonderful, and I actually have the disabled all the times because most of the people either screw them up (and even worse, optimize them for Internet Explorer in sloppy HTML only), or people use huge background images in them which sometimes reach a whopping 100 KB in filesize, or worse. Now disabling/enabling that, can matter a bunch of seconds sometimes, unlike the NEW/OFF images, of which the loading isn't even noticable. Adding an option for that would be a waste of the SQL resource usage, even if it would be a simple boolean. |

| I think we all saw them before. User Comments in profiles. Sometimes it's a quick and dirty alternative for a Private Message, it can be used to notify people, and people can comment/give feedback about the user itself using the commenting feature. I'd like seeing them here. Who's with me? |

| I was in a cafe with my friends watching Netherlands vs. Germany yesterday. And I have 2 words: boring match. I think Holland's team is getting worse and worse over the years. Dick Advokaat (coach) is having a hard time setting up a proper strategy, and on the field that's very noticable. Holland was very offensive against Germany, but in the back it was pretty much just Jaap Stam (who did great yesterday, on a side note) doing most of the work, hardly anyone was getting back in time if the Germans came rushing to our goal. Holland's defense sucks, and the way how the Germans scored (from such a distance, and nobody even touched it after Frings took the shot) proves it. |

| Cookies don't last forever and thus aren't a nice way to store long-term settings. And how were you intending to store user-settings such as enabling/disabling OFF/NEW graphics in a scheme database record? Not saying it isn't possible, but it's far from a proper sollution. The proper way to store long-term settings is still a database (or files, though SQL is better), and for that you get extra SQL resource usage. Which in this case, I wouldn't bother adding. Hello?! We're talking about <500B images, not even worth the time of adding the radio buttons necesarily to disable them. |

| People post crap in them, sure, happens all the time at my own board and at all the other boards where I saw this feature. But they're small, harmless, and heck, if we worry about them taking up space, we can delete ones older than xx days. | |||

| Elric, I'm not talking about cookies expiring, but they just don't last forever. Everyone cleans or loses cookies once in a while. They're known for not lasting long enough to store long-term settings. And Hyperhacker, again you don't know what you're talking about. Sure, it's a boolean, one byte, that is STORED IN THE DATABASE, but the matter with databases is that they need to be connected to, and queried, which takes time and uses resources. The resource usage gets even heavier if more and more needs to be queried every time. I'm starting to get annoyed with this thread. You're trying to counter my arguments with bullshit and you're pretty much claiming I'm overexaggerating, while yet, you are the one who's making a whole issue about these <500B images. And you NEVER had to wait for your layout to load, while you did have to wait seconds for the NEW/OFF graphics to load? I know that's bullshit, you know that's bullshit, and everyone else in this thread knows it's bullshit. It's impossible for you to have to wait seconds for you to load a <500B image even if you're on an antique 14.4 KB/s connection, unless the server is taking it's time to 'answer' your request, or is 'down' for a second or two; but in the meantime your >100KB layout takes 'a total of zero loading time'. Too...much...bullshit... |

What's the point in a custom message in the header on every page?  I don't see any use nor fun in it, and it's just a waste of space. Especially allowing any HTML in it is just asking for trouble because some people aren't supposed to use it. |

| Why do I see some people always replying with useless answers as in using a whole other language for something simple? It's simple, all you have to do is make a table. Of course, you can edit the marquee tags so they will bounce, scroll faster, etcetera. |

| Of course, you'll get a "Huh, a what? Woa!"-expression in your head right now, but think about it. We are all curious en we all have questions when it comes to sexuality. On other forums I go to these are doing wonderful. Think about it? |

| Music on a webpage is a no-no, whether it's a midi, wav, flash 'movie', etcetera. I like to put on my winamp when I'm on the computer, while I'm on the computer it's constantly running. The last thing I want is to hear some (usually annoying) unwanted theme put on a webpage playing through my music. Second, music files usually take longer to load than the whole webpage, including images, together. It's best to keep webpages fast. |

| First one: Looking familiar? You just ripped Maddox's page and changed some images/titles, even the source is almost completely identical to Maddox's, and you left some chunks of 'Best page in the universe' in the source. (edited by Modereb on 09-04-04 01:40 AM) |

| Think it's more of a File Association problem than a programming problem. In a Windows Explorer window, go to 'Extra', then 'Map Options' (bottom item in the menu under 'Extra'), and then the third Tab 'Extensions'. Here you can change with what program every file type will be opened. Or, just open your browser window and go to the URL/location of the PHP file itself. |

) so it's really slow. Plus, rendering time, though slow, is somewhat noticeable. I'd like to keep it as fast as possible. (And think about the poor 56Kers. At my dad's, that's all I'll have too. 
)
