Upload pics from PC 4 signature

[Falling Down]

Hi

I think it should be possible to upload a pic directly from your PC into your signature.
In ACP there should be a setting to limit the file size.

[knox]

sounds interesting to me, I personally would love this.

Definatly. Using Imageshack just slows Everything Down.

[Andrew S.]

Yeah thats a great suggestion...:)

Not a very good suggestion because:

[*]IPB consumes the files and adds them into the uploads/ folder, and sadly not the SQL database. [*]If you are owning a large community, many people will use this feature. this will

Increase usage of bandwith rate. Quickly decrease free space on your server.

It isn't too inconvienient to just upload the pictures at their website or at a hosting service.

and as always... there should be an otion in ACP to seitch this feature on and off... then every admin can decide on his one...

[Falling Down]

so can we have this for 2.1 Final?

It's the same thing as attaching a image to a post. Either way it is going to the server, and by allowing this (Admin decision, of course) it simplifies signitures.

First, remember the filesystem is for storing files, SQL is not really suited to storing images for this kind of thing.

This would IMO be great. It could just count towards everyones upload usage.

*bump*

since this is not in 2.1 can we please ask for it for the nxt release?

[Minos]

Sounds good to me.

[bart5986]

Simple and great suggestion. +1 :)

[Davidcopperfield]

Again an idea was outvoted, but we shall do nothong if the staff's atteniotn is not drawn. Send a PM/mail to someone that really reads this section. They skim it randomly :(

Good idea, but not great IMHO. It should be simple to do as a mod, since you can already upload for your avatar. Perhaps such a mod would give you X amount of space for both signature and avatar.

[Thandi]

I like this idea simply b/c it seems easier to just be able to upload a new pic from your pc, like the avatars.

I'm just a bit leery of the warning on the admin cp about how letting your posters have html in their sigs could allow for someone to hack into it...saying something about "unless you trust your users." But, how can we trust complete strangers? Altho, that's kinda what we're doing anyway by letting people join our forums :)
