Forum:Talkbubble Templates and User Images

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > Talkbubble Templates and User Images

Over the past few days user images and user talk templates have gone insane. Have we set a max to images users can upload to use on their userpage? Or must they be linked through Photobucket? Also, wasn't there a max of seven talkbubble images for user talk templates? This really hasn't been a problem (that I recall) until now. I am in no way being trying to be mean or "step on any toes," but something must be done. Please see: Talk Templates Example 1 19 talkbubbles Example 2 26 talkbubbles Example 3 23 talkbubbles I know making/using talkbubbles can be fun and all but there has to be a limit. Users will never use all those talkbubbles, plus the coding is insane. User Images As of late there has been an increase in user images (that break the image policy). There was a discussion about this problem earler; see here. Upload log ' Example 1 10 (including talkbubble images that break image policy) Example 2 30 Example 3 2 Example 4 7 and the list continues If you'll look through the User Images category, you'll find numerous images that aren't being used/break the image policy/not needed/should be uploaded through Photobucket. This has been a growing problem as of late, and I've yet to find a rule saying what is and is not allowed. I have nothing against a user having a couple of images on their userpage or a few on their talktemplate, but there has to be a limit. Xion4ever Who am I? — 23:39, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. I have mixed feelings about this, Xion4Ever. I disagree with you on the matter of talk bubbles. It's not like having a lot of talk bubbles is bad, and if you think about it, it doesn't violate the rules at all. I agree, however, that the number of talkbubbles some users have is ridiculous, but it's their own dang fault. If they want to handle that many, they may choose to do so, as long as incorrect coding doesn't mess up their template. I do agree with you, however, on the matter of user images. Uploading user images is a direct violation to the Manual of Style, as user images count as fanart, and I agree that all images should be uploaded from photobucket. I'll admit that I've uploaded some user images, but that was before I knew of the rule, and they have been put up for deletion. Talkbubble images are, however, a different case. Most talkbubbles are used publicly by the user, and it is difficult to put talkbubbe images in templates from photobucket. So, I say, no fanart, yes talkbubble images.
