what about threads where pretty much only one person ever posts, grinding their axe? I see this as disruptive to the board and a turn off for people. You mean like when some guy can't shut up about how much he hates some particular artist? I've seen this recently in other areas (example...Taylor Swift).  I think this is when you just accept that it's one of the costs of living in a democracy. And there's always the ignore feature. true, and I use that function. It just seems like people see most of the posts by one guy, nothing to do with comics and think this aint the board for me. |

But it would have to be hobby-centric or it wouldn't be allowed. "Nothing to do with comics" wouldn't fly in the Comic Books or Journals boards. |

I just wish there was some self-control. |

By the way, the quickest way to earn money is in the Journals board. Almost all collectors love to see your books, and it's extremely easy to post images here. I can post images without a third party host site?! |

I think you would get FAR more participation if people were able to host images directly. I actually avoid posting sometimes just because I don't feel like going through the extra step of uploading a pic to Imgur. |

I think you would get FAR more participation if people were able to host images directly. I actually avoid posting sometimes just because I don't feel like going through the extra step of uploading a pic to Imgur. We tried it when I first set up the forum and no one liked it. It's poorly implemented. If I remember correctly, it's treated as an attachment and limits to one image per post. The image comes at the very end of the post and the size was difficult to control. So, for example, you can't type "Here's picture A," followed by the pic, and "Here's picture B," followed by another pic. And since Imgur gives you the BBCode directly, [img]https://i.imgur.com/ABC.jpeg[/img] it saves a step. Way easier. I wonder if you're doing it wrong? There's no need to touch any forum buttons...you just paste the code above into the body of your post and you're done. |
