Video clips in Avatars???

TJ Cline · 07-27-2005, 11:26 PM

We cant have video clips in our signatures

I was wondering can we have them in our Avatars

Nice Napoleon you've got there.

Big Smoothy · 07-27-2005, 11:44 PM

^^ I am curious also.

I read the thread stating no vids for sigantures.

Just curious as to why?

Robert?

Big Smoothy · 07-27-2005, 11:46 PM

ya know, Napolean was a real c*nt.

Nick+ · 07-28-2005, 12:30 AM

Videos take up a lot of room (large file size) maybe that's why he doesn't want them.

ya know, Napolean was a real c*nt.

nice horse though......

I saw some dude in the training section with a moving avatar, so I guess its allowed!

Does this mean no more animated boobies for Avatars?!?!??

Eggs · 07-28-2005, 08:32 AM

I'm thinking that was probably the cause of it to begin with.. but I could be wrong.

All the boobs and shit helped make the forum not "work safe".. even in the training forums when people posted with those in their avatars/sigs.

I could be totally wrong, but they kinda helped make the sight less accesible to people that didn't want to deal with that stuff or were in a place where it could get them in trouble.

I totally agree. I have to change my options to not display pics, avatar, and sigs so it can be work safe.
It would be nice to have some kind of regulation. Plus it would also be nice for people who post not work safe material to put a disclaimer (NWS) in the title. If some how this can be inforced it would be great.

Man when you work, you work, no forum shit allowed so a person should not have to take any notice to that and should just be able to use whatever.
as long as it does not include any discriminating pic's or text's in it.

I was one of the very very very few who had a video sig ( I have only seen 2 or 3 of us total).........you would think the people who post hard core porn would get a talking too??? Just seems odd to me

Video avatars are ok....video pics in the photo gallery are ok and porn is ok but not video sigs...

.....well Im sure their is a very good reason fore it.

**Prince** · 07-28-2005, 10:00 AM

it is due to file size, you can have a video clip in your avatar because the board limits the file size of avatars to 20k, but there is no way to limit the file size in signatures.

Thanks Robert, I thought it might be that or that it was distracting...
Thank you for the quick response.

Eggs · 07-28-2005, 10:21 AM

There ya have it.

It'd still be nice if peeps kept the porn down for those at work. It doesnt really affect me, but I'm sure there are those it does.

Actually, I'd forgotten you lived in Canada. Most professional organizations frown on pornograhy at work due to liability issues/sexual harassment issues.
