YellowSeven Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 How about the ability to add pictures to a thread? Most other forums has this and a 'picture paints a thousand words' If picture size is a worry you can alway limit it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 this has often been suggested. fear of people linking to pr0n or abusing it is the reason we don't. HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowSeven Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Could we take a vote/poll and possibly try it? (To gauge if theres enough interest to make it worth while) If it is abused then it can be taken away? The majority of other forum use it to great effect. Nothing ventured, nothing gained?

kevind Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Guys, Slightly different tack possibly but I noticed recently I couldn't attach a file (picture) to an email to another BC user - or if I could it wasn't obvious how to attach it. Eventually got a non-BC email address and did it that way. Understand the reluctance to have pictures in the BC forum but attaching them to an email from within BC would be an improvement - or can someone tell me how to do it? To comment on another thread doing the rounds - IMO the existing software's fine otherwise. My other car's...........in the garage!!!! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrino Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 fear of people linking to pr0n or abusing it is the reason we don't. But you can still link to p0rn with a hyperlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 true... but its on an external site and isn't displayed on blatchat itself. I think that's the distinction. HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowSeven Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hoopy, I appreciate your point of veiw, but no other forums I have been on suffer from such problems so why should we? You could also simply ban people who do choose to post such images? But to be honest I cant see there being many!! Is'nt it worth a trial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Barry runs the site, he's stated that view in the past. I guess he's seen it happen on some sites before and doesn't want it happening here. There's also a fair few modem users who don't want to have to wait for pictures to load.
