Temporary Avatar disabling..

[hartiberlin]

Hi All,
I had to disable the Avatar display
because I did not want to have any more externally stored
avatar pictures for tighter security and faster page load reasons.
I will enable the Avatars again at the beginning of 2009.

Please until then in the meantime please upload your Avatar picture directly to over here
in your profile section to the overunity.com server
and don´t link it anymore from your own server.

This way I can make sure, that all
Avatar pictures are directly loaded from the overunity.com server
and don´t slow down the page load, if external
pictures do not load due to other servers being down or slow..


Many thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Regards, Stefan (admin)

P.S: I also disabled the external linked in inline images inside postings with
the IMG tag, as this sometimes also slows down the page buildup.

Please upload all pictures from now on directly as an attachment to the posting.

Many thanks.

Stefan,

Well this news of having our offline images [IMG] tags ....... "sucks bigtime" for us that used this feature and now being you have made it impossible to "EDIT" any older posts ( more than 6 hours )  to correct the now new problem the members face dead links with no pictures, diagrams or what ever.

Also what happened to the "POST" features, color text, text size, hiper links, attachment size ...... etc.  "SORRY I"M OFF TOPIC"

For some reason, MY avatar on the corner of every page is very big and I cannot delete it from my own profile. I wish to remove it but there is no longer any way.

Please describe how I can do this.

Thank you,

jeanna

BTW there is also an ad near the bottom of the page (Top recommended products ad) that is drawn outside the border and into the forum and I am unable to read the posts there. Please help!!

Stefan,

The more I think about the deletion of members off site [IMG] image files is nothing more than a breach of trust that has been broken by this forum. By removing pictures, diagrams and other information that was "POSTED" for clarification on threads is gone making subjects dead or mute without the members approval by the administration and now the members location and username of where these [IMG] files were stored is now in the public domain for everyone to see. We as members have lost all rights to our thoughts, inspiration and information we have shared in good faith here at this forum, with nothing more than a wham bam thank you stupid for posting here. I guess you expect us to now to thank you for the censorship ..... no way no how not from me. 

Je mehr ich denke, über die Streichung der Mitglieder Off-Site [IMG] Image-Dateien ist nichts anderes als eine Verletzung des Vertrauens, dass gebrochen wurde von diesem Forum. Durch das Entfernen Bilder, Grafiken und anderen Informationen, die "Verfasst am" für die Klärung der Threads ist weg zu Themen tot oder stumm schalten, ohne die Mitglieder Genehmigung durch die Verwaltung und die Mitglieder nun Lage und Benutzernamen, wo diese [IMG] Dateien gelagert waren, ist jetzt in der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich für jedermann zu sehen. Wir als Mitglieder verloren haben alle Rechte, um unsere Gedanken, Anregungen und Informationen, die wir gemeinsam in gutem Glauben hier in diesem Forum, mit nichts weiter als ein Wham bam Vielen Dank, dass Sie dumm für die Buchung hier. Ich vermute, Sie erwarten, dass wir jetzt dafür danken, dass Sie sich für die Zensur ..... keine Möglichkeit nicht, wie nicht von mir. 

Plus je pense à la suppression des membres hors du site [IMG] fichiers image n'est rien de plus qu'un abus de confiance qui a été brisé par ce forum. En éliminant les images, de diagrammes et d'autres informations qui a été "posted" des éclaircissements sur des fils est allé faire des sujets morts ou muet les membres sans l'approbation de l'administration et les membres maintenant l'emplacement et le nom d'utilisateur de l'endroit où ces [IMG] ont été stockés des fichiers est maintenant en le domaine public aux yeux de tous. Nous, en tant que membres ont perdu tous les droits de nos pensées, de l'inspiration et de l'information nous avons partagé de bonne foi ici à ce forum, avec rien de plus qu'un Wham bam vous remercie stupide pour poster ici. Je suppose que vous attendez de nous maintenant à vous remercier pour la censure ..... rien ne comment pas de moi.

G'day Stefan and all,

Many of my posts contain extensive graphics to explain what I am working on. Since many of the graphics are much too large to upload on your sever I posted the graphics on my website and included a link. This also enabled me to show the illustrations in their correct place in the text rather than having a library of pictures at the end of the post.

I would have thought this system was preferable, since my illustrations otherwise would have taken up a lot of room on your server.

All in all, the old system worked well. I for one am disappointed and personally I don't think the new system enhances the site.

Just my two cents worth.

Greetings from Australia
