User Images for Subscribers+

[Mike]

Hi,

A neat little feature from some other forums is a user image. Basically, people can make an image of their username, and send it to an administrator to have it approved (maybe make a thread in subscribers section to post them in). Then on the postbit, just make an if condition for if "/images/usernames/$userid.png" exists, then show that, if not, show their normal username.

Just another cool little perk that could be added for fun.

Examples from other forums:





The image would have to be smaller than a certain dimension, and the color needs to be the same as the persons default user group color.

It would take up too much space in the profile area when posting, also if it was a certain size, you might not be able to see their username as it would be crammed in with other stuff like links, and poop

I think the span style is enough

That would look awful in some aspects, if you ask me.

Poor Idea,
It looks terrible in sythe also.

The only thing I would call for is custom bg images from a select line such as the butterflies or sparkles.

I don't like the huge userimages, but I've seen some vB forums that have small bars that go between the username and avatar that say the type of Subscription or for Forum Staff;

Example:

I don't know if that's what he was implying, but something of this sort would be pretty cool.

(OT @MentaL: Sorry about the last thread I suggested, I suppose it's a bit immature I just like the movie I think >_<.)

Everything seems pretty nice as it is, I dont see why it has to be changed.

Instead of rank images that will take up space in the postbit and increase the size, you can add conditions to have a Postbit Background, which binds to the upper left corner of the postbit (Where you name is listed).

This way it will still give you a nice touch - but it won't look as ugly with the extended height of the postbit.

You have to make individual "userinfo"'s for each group - which is a hassle, but the results are rewarding.
