Graphics Issues
Sat Mar 20 2004

I've presently removed ALL public images from the system and am in the process of re-approving the reasonably useful ones. Over the last 4 years we've gathered a huge amount (somewhere around 32,000) images and a lot of them just don't work well as backgrounds or buttons and such like. So there's now going to be a bit more 'artistic' decision when it comes to allowing public images as well as whether they're decent or not.

Of course I am not much of an artist so there'll be a wide discrepancy in perhaps what people want public and what I accept but oh well :)

Anyway, give me a few more hours and they should be back, those that are coming.

    Hey, if we're using a public image as one of the many backgrounds that we have the option to set will it now show up as a blank square with that link missing icon instead of the image?

    YAY! This should make it a little easier in that window loading.

    Keep up the GREAT work.

    i think people should not be allowed to make them public, if they have a graphic set they would like to share they should email them to a particular account to be approved and then put on the system. This way you can control to make sure they include everything (all the buttons needed for navigation etc)

    Just a thought :)

    Does this mean you are banishing that jarring 5 inch "previous entry button" that's a chihuahua head with beady eyes? Can I start cheering now?

    I couldn't help laughing on reading that. I couldn't agree more. The thing scared me a little when I first came across it...

    Some people might be against this desicion, however I think it's pretty bright in face of images such as the evil chihuahua. I couldn't possibly imagine anyone using it...
