Ok. I suggest you put a better size limit on the custom titles. I did a little testing and was able to make it display a 1680x1050 Wallpaper picture....IN FULL SIZE. If you'd like me to I can demonstrate.

:EDIT: Ok no one seems to reply so I will demonstrate. If XK sees this I hope he'll get the idea.

We have this thing called "trusting our users to not fuck up". Like before with the offsite avatars.

Abuse them and lose them.


In short, don't fucking do it or I will remove your profile editing access entirely.

Although things aren't critical, adding a little bit of security wouldn't hurt...

But we clearly don't live in a perfect world where no one abuses anything, else we wouldn't need passwords and all...

Common Sense!

Basically.

I mean, layouts could break things ... so, yeah?

I'm assuming that HyperHacker's "background" is done through the title? Seems cool and I'm sure more will follow suit, and its cool to have that option. Just don't be stupid.

I did it once to prove a point. I just thought that img tags in the custom title is a bad idea. Hence the demonstration.

I don't need a warning as I have plenty of common sense. The only time I use the img tag in my custom title is if I have another 100x100 image I wish to display. That way it doesn't break the tables whatsoever.

Of course. But I trust people to not abuse it, and if they do, +b.

Well I never knew that it was possible so I (probably) overreacted and thought it was a bug in the system. Little did I know it was left in there intentionally.

Yes it is, and yes, people duplicated it within hours. Though, I got the idea from someone else having a horizontal bar spanning the width of the box.

Let's keep in mind that one could always put giant images in their posts too, or several megabytes of text, etc... there's many ways to break pages or be annoying on damn near any forum system that can't be prevented, so it's a bit silly to try to prevent others. Like Xk said, abuse will simply be dealt with manually.
