Well, then I'd say its possible. The only other problem is hosting space. Unfortunately, my hosting server only allows me about 30 MB. I could pack screenshots together (probably .zip), but I am going to need a better alternative shortly.

It would be nice to have a kind of screen shot repository so we could get a wide variety from everyone. Any ideas?

Always space available for another Dom3 project on my servers.

Maybe make some banners that are forum friendly so users can use them in the signature :)

Upon further searching I found the signature compliance guidelines and now understand why my signatures have not been working. I will see what I can do to make the signatures forum friendly. Although, I have not seen any signatures on the forums at all despite having signatures enabled. I only see avatars.

Edit: I have confirmed this. Based off of these guidelines. I changed one of my banners to meet specifications, which you can get here. The banner did not show up for me and I have yet to see any graphic signatures on the forum--I only see text.

Did I find old guidelines. Do other people see images in signatures?

Signatures works fine for me. A forum bug? Tried diffrent browser?

Okay I see your signatures now Dom, but only after I enabled:
Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)

I'm taking a guess on this but that probably means that adding a signature through the forum is the wrong way to go about doing it. My banners will probably only work as code in the signature to the link. I'm going to try that now.

Try flush the cache and reload/refresh the forum in your browser.

Yep, used [IMG] tags rather than the forum's way of setting up a signature. It's a shame that most of those options (enabling signatures and [IMG] tags are disabled by default.

Im going to sound like a fanboi again but..
many of the larger forums have it off by default. As new small forums they have the settings really high then gradually learn that its not a great idea. They have to cut back later which ticks off users.

Altho this new software they switched to does things in a very good way for that. Better than many forums handle it.

Your logic may be sound, but you don't just -sound- like a fanboi. ;)

I still miss the old forums, very much. "Thank Gandalf Parker for this useful post." - That about sums up what I like about the new forum, and I'll never agree that it was worth what we gave up.
