I think you're missing the point. It's not that they don't want you using your image, its that they don't want you using it on an external site (I don't know german, but that's what I gather), even if its your image, its still on their servers, so its their bandwidth you're using. You need host it with site that hosts images specifically for hotlinking, such as ImageShack

No, I just don't feel like doing that. It's stupid that funpic won't let me use my banner from my site in my sig here. It's stupid. I've done something already, I'm not going to do something else because funpic doesn't want me to use my image.

So let me get this straight. It's pointless to fix problems because you already did it wrong the first time around?

... Yeeeeaaaah...

Actually, I still see that man even though I may have the image cached. Didn't anyone click the link I put? Going there will take you to that man and if you look at the URL it says http://404.funpic.org/linkextern.jpg. It's all stupid. This didn't start happening until last night. I've used this before. This is gay. And I'm not using photobucket or anything because it's pointless when I already have it uploaded somewhere.

As for the name changes, I don't care anymore.

Thats why if somone misuses the feature they woud get a ban. You're not going to make 5000 posts just to get banned.

I dunno about this. It´s not like it´s hard to PM and admin and I´ve never had any problems with that.

Could be fun but it could also result in chaos.

I don't use IE. That doesn't even make sense.
You can see them because you have the image cached. Nobody else can.
Since you can't listen, I'm removing the images until you move them to a host that allows hotlinking. They're stretching your posts way too much, even if it's only in IE or whatever your logic is.

Umm... no... they don't work in Firefox. You only see them because they're in your browser cache.

No, my image works, but it can't find my banner sometimes so it shows that man. The banner is from my site at http://dsmaster.ds.funpic.org/images/title2.jpg. It also happened with someone else's banner. Only because he has the same server I do. It's funpic's fault, not mine. At least it's working again.
No, it's NOT working.
It's not funpic's "fault," they are preventing hotlinking. No one can see the images, and it's making your layout stretch.
I linked to two good image hosting sites. Use them.

And as for the idea, it could be useful, but only if you want to. I'm guessing we aren't going to get this because Xk said no.

Personally, it's never a hassle to change someone's name, even during fads.
I believe it's just one of those things that would lead to more bad than good. =\

And on a side note, your sig images aren't showing, because funpic won't let you hotlink. Use Image Shack or Photo Bucket.

It would be nice for Admins too. It would prevent then from having to change peoples names all the time. And it would give more freedom to the users. I think it would be quite a nice idea. I have a lot of ideas for the board... or not. I think maybe everything has been done...

Not like it's hard to simply PM an admin...

But I guess if they're that far along with posts, it wouldn't be horrible. They'd obviously be pretty well known.

Maybe you could allow name changes for normal users after 2500 post or something like that just like when a normal user reaches a certain ammount of post they can edit their custom title. And make a rule that if they abuse it that they get a ban or have the feature disabled. Just an idea. Maybe have it at 5000 post... I don't know. But it would be nice even if it takes forever to earn that right.
