avatars and sigs... Updated topic (see bottom of thread)

[a500lbgorilla]

The disable avatars/sigs mod has been lost during the upgrade of the forum. This means that we need to tone down the avatars and sigs for a little while.

What's NSFW? Anything you wouldnt want a female co-worker or your boss seeing on your screen.

Sorry, guys. I've been busy moving and getting settled in a new house. With being out-of-town every weekend until my housewarming party in a few weeks and trying to get things ready for the party, I've not been able to keep up with things around here lately.

I'll see if I can get the hide avatars mod back in tonight. The other mods will be re-installed within a week. My apologies.

i believe this is the truth, do you see why?

[DaNutsInYoEye]

I don't work in an office setting, and that might be the reason, but I have never understood the "work safe" thing. If you're so worried about what a co-worker may or may not see why are you even on such sites to begin with?

[CrunchyNuts]

Uh, 'cause the content of the site is poker, which wouldn't be much of a problem - just that there happens to be a lot of soft porn too. Thankfully, there's usually a way to get the poker content without the porn which kinda makes it a non-issue, eh?

[Sed]

I actually had avatars off during the upgrade and can't get them back....

Hopefully no one gets fired over a fat guy dancing.

Well if you wanna just read up on some poker, which is okay and no one would mind, and you got boobs and butts all over the screen and someone sees that, then there's a problem.

It's not like you're gonna be jacking off in the office now is it.

Or maybe it is?

That's not the issue. A lot of people don't want to see boobs and butts at work, even out of the corner of their eye. And if they do see 'em out of the corner of their eye and you're to blame, you can be in a huge heap of disciplinary action.

[Xianti]

Hmmm... Now that I've checked on it, the hide/show avatars mod was actually the first one I put back in. I wonder why it's not working properly.

I must've missed something. I'll check it again.

It's also annoying when people put "dodgy stuff" in their signature, Like Corey for example a few lines up. I disable avatars and the like because of their content, but I like to keep signatures enabled because more often than not they contain useful information (bankroll/targets/skill level/sites you play on/levels, etc).

Corey - why the need to put pictures like that on your signature? If you want to perv at that kind of thing, fine - keep it on your hard-drive. If somebody else wants to perv at something like that, they can google it. Why the need to force it on to people on a _poker forum_.

I view the site at home, but I have a wife and 3 kids. None of whom mind me reading a poker site, but all of whom object to such images. There is just no need for it at all.

[Lukie]

Why not just disable Signatures then too?

[a500lbgorilla]

That mod is dead currently anyway.

[Greedo017]

i hereby vow to never work anywhere where me looking at semi-naked or naked women while working is not embraced and appreciated.

[Les_Worm]

I enjoy seeing big breasted semi naked women. I do understand the complaints from people at work since the mod is broken and thats why I took my avatar down a while ago. As soon as it is back, the women will be back as well.....just wait.

[DoGGz]

I think the best question is why are you even here at work? If I was your boss and you were doing crap that wasn't work I wouldn't care if it was naked women, or gambling.

If your at home and you don't like seeing some pictures -DON'T LOOK-

It's amazing that you were unable to read more than the first line of my post, because by the time you get to the end of the second line, this question is answered.

Guys - if you insist on putting soft porn in your signatures, fair enough I can't stop it. But why not just keep it to yourself, if others want to look, there are plenty non-poker websites out there that they can browse.

UPDATE: Eric and I are still trying to figure out why the Hide/Show Avatars/Sigs mod isn't working. All the options are in place, but the user selections in Profile don't seem to take when submitting the change.


In the meantime, I can manually change your setting in the database.

WHO WANTS TO SEE NO AVATARS AND SIGS?
Tell me here in this thread and I'll switch them off for you individually.

[UG]

Please turn them off for me please. I'd rather be able to look at posts here at work than not at all...Not that I don't look here at work, but I just have to make sure I don't have any students around my desk when I do.

Thanks,
UG

[Spook]

I need them off too I'm afraid.

[DogOnMySide]

I posted this in another thread but ...

ghostzilla is the shiznit for this

http://www.ghostzilla.com/

Invisible grey-and-white browser that:
opens within whatever window you are using
has no taskbar icon or startbar thingy
shows no images unless you roll over them
and vanishes when you roll the mouse off it

fuckin' a.

[Kessler]

Take mine off too please. I surf @ Work.

I'll look into ghostzilla tho.

Dude your forum name is satan. Does your family find that offensive? I'm really just pulling your chain, but you gave me something to run with.

No hard feelings.

I look at work and my manager sits next to me. He doesn't mind if I go on a poker message board for a little bit each day as long as he or anybody else doesn't see anything blatent. But I work with many women and older people that won't appreciate some of the pics on here. I have images turned off and therefore cannot view any posts that show card images. I can't even see where the "quote" button is but I know where to click. Anyway, I know gambling and porn go together (somehow?) so I'll just deal with the no card images.

[drmcboy]

change mine to No if you get a chance. thx

So do you want your avatars & sigs turned off for you?

[Xianti]

Bump.

Anyone else need avatars & sigs turned off?

We still can't get the mod to work. I may start searching for a new one.

phpbb mods > Xianti

[Eric]

I fixed this mod today. All members should now be able to turn them on and off themselves through the profile. Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks.
