Title: Site suggestion!
Post by: Bird351 on April 20, 2005, 10:49:26 PM
Would it be possible to add picture attachments to PMs?

If so, can we make sure Shawn can't scan his ass and PM everyone with the picture? :p

I've just checked the control panel and no, it's not possible to add attachments to PM's. You can use the IMG tags though, so if you have the image stored somewhere (like CarDomain) you can send pics in PM's...

It's actually rather surprising to see the limits of PM's in the control panel - they must eat up a lot of bandwidth or processing power because Vbulletin seems to have reigned them in pretty tight, functionality wise.

Get a photobucket account. They're free, and you can use images up to 250mg.

Give me access to the Source PHP code and I can make the PM more flexible ;)

I already use ImageShack. Problem is, it's something I didn't want to exchange publicly.. in case ImageShack found it offensive. (in a rude way)

I wouldn't even know what part of the PHP code to give you access to...
 
Could you also do something along the lines of a java chat thing? I believe somebody mentioned asking you before, but I didn't wanna volunteer your services. Now that you have I can do so with impunity :evilgrin:

I provided a link in another thread in the lounge.. I think it's to a site that'll generate chat code for a website. Not sure, though.
