I like his song 'Fat' (Michael Jackson's Bad with new lyrics that is.). Haven't heard much else from him.

Then your memory is working fine. I fixed the error.

If you need a burly young man to help you move stuff around, someone else than me would be happy to.

Can you back that up objectively? Right now I really have no choice but to assume you are letting the placebo effect play tricks on you, like with the self-appointed audiophools who think they can always hear the difference between 320k mp3 files and the CD sources. That stuff aside, it really wouldn't be too dramatic to increase the size limit a bit. Most people would not end up using the extra space any ways.

You make some good points there. I hope I implemented them into the OP well enough. . .

I use the Board Index link myself so the banner doesn't bother me.

You do get advantages after working for them; skill. It puts you above the newcomers.

This is going to be a mix of suggestion and rant. I don't think I have ever encountered such a quote-happy bunch of people before. I am seeing plenty of quotes that are quoting the post right above the reply, which is unnecessary and just needlessly complicates the discussion and lengthens the thread pages. Worse still I see people quoting images without even having the decency to turn them into links first, and yes, that image was RIGHT ABOVE their post too. What I want to propose is to add posting guidelines to the rules. Going against them would not result in punishments in most cases but would give the staff the formal right to edit away unnecessary stuff and write reminders to the "offenders". Only if a user completely and repeatedly ignores all the guidelines will s/he receive a user warning. Examples of guidelines: 1. Do not needlessly quote a post, especially a large post (5+ lines). Maybe the post you are replying to is far away and/or on the previous page, or you want to focus on a specific part of the post that is right above yours; these situations are fine for using quotes, you are bringing attention to the text you are replying to as well as your own, a piece of text that is either far above your post or on the previous page. But there is no need to bring special attention to the post that is right above yours if you are replying to it as a whole. When people see a post without a quote and looks like a part of an ongoing discussion it is obvious that the post being replied to is right above or at the very least very close. 2. Make moderate use of nested quotes ("quotes-within-quotes"). Sometimes you need more context than the post you are replying to offers, in such situations nested quotes can come in handy. But when you end up with a nested quote and you don't need it for your reply, please take 5 seconds of your free time and remove the unnecessary quote(s) from within the one you are focusing on. It is not a lot of work for you but gives your fellow members a better reading experience. 3. Avoid quoting large images and other large embedded content. Clicking a link is not a lot of work, nor is rewriting img tags into url tags prior to submitting a post. Please consider your fellow members when you take the decision to put a big image into your quote, that one image will lengthen the thread page considerably, and needlessly so. There can be situations where quoting an image as-is is a more fluid approach than turning it into a link, such as if a thread has a lot of linked images, but when there is only one image people will hardly need to guess which one you are linking to in that quote of your post. 4. Trim down quotes when appropriate. With longer posts it is less likely that you are responding to the entire block of text, so try to remove text from the quote that does not concern your reply. Do not take this too far, however, it is possible to take a quote out of context and therefore change a person's text to a different meaning. 5. Do not needlessly multi-post. Posting a second post right after yours can be useful to bring attention to an old thread that has dropped down the forum pages if you happen to be the last poster, but there is no reason to post more than one post at a time within an active discussion. You have an Edit button at your service and the ability to multi-quote in a single post, use these features please, they are there for a reason. Now is your turn. If you find anything (else) annoying about people's posting habits then write them down along with a good explanation of why.

It is not fair if moderators get a higher limit, I would suggest the admin normalizes it. But you do not need a higher limit, increase the jpg compression, with such a big file and small dimensions you either have a very complex picture or you are using excessive quality number (92 or higher).

When you can pay for advantages in a game, the game is no longer about skill. I think level-ups in multiplayer are a flat out terrible idea in the first place, it gives the "pro" players a much unneeded and unfair edge over the newcomers.

Downloadable content is a publisher's excuse to split a game into 2+ parts and sell each one individually. I hope nobody is dense enough to not see that, considering EA announce DLC even before the initial game is released, like in the case of Dead Space 2 and Dragon Age 2. DLC done right can be good, unfortunately it is rarely done so.

Wow, i have actually never heard someone with that opinion before. Let me fix that: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=156 I find both games meh at best, BS2 I found more enjoyable overall, but in BS1 I had to force myself to finish it. After that I uninstalled and will probably never look at it again.

Yes, when you will be prompted to make the change.

Is there a (set of) variable(s) to move the buttons around, by any chance?

That sounds awesome on paper. Haven't seen the film.

There are cuts planned here as well. They plan to merge schools together, even elementaries and kindergartens, which would form a sort of "elementary kindergarten".

Ross is actually one of the least active members. He only got a head start from all the news posts.

Square Enix? Are you kidding me? They throw out enough C&Ds to make EA seem modding friendly in comparison. They shut down promising projects just for the hell of it, projects that pose no risk to their financial outcome (It isn't like they are even trying to support their back catalogue either.).

No, but the way the United States started off is not exactly a story of butterflies and unicorns either.

The current limit seems to be 16.74 KBs, to me that is more than enough considering the max dimensions are 100x100. With such a small image you can also get away with higher compression without the artefacts being visible. My avatar uses almost the entire allowed area (97x100) but only weighs 4 KBs. The filesize limit is an odd number though. I'd say either move it down to 16 KBs or up it to 24 or 32, just to look classy.

Those "loop" dreams are scary as hell, I can only remember one happening to me but in no detail.

Ubisoft used to be okay in the early Splinter Cell days but then they started their hate campaign against the PC. When it seemed impossible to impose anything worse than the Starforce copy protection they managed to out-do themselves.

Should we call the forums Accursed Farms Forums or Accursed Forums?

I don't really care about uploaders. I just look at videos by searching or by clicking links in forum/blog/etc. posts.

No one needs that kind of limit, jpg compression is there for a reason. If you feel the need to upload an oversized image then just upload to an image host and use img tags. Doing 2 would possibly make this even worse. Bandwidth is not something you can take for granted.
