Well "In My Humble Opinion" these two items while perfectly true, are just not helping things, since they are both making the forum harder to use. The bit about colours while it isn't impossible, is still not easy and not all colours work, some colours when you try them simply revert your display to the ghastly forum default of glaring white and grey.
The images.... (deep sigh) now I sincerely hope that this is just temporary, since having to click on an image to see it properly may be manageable for just a single image, but think about some of the wonderful tutorials we have been gifted by from members in the past. Some of them had a multitude of images - now just imagine the laboriousness of having to click on each one individually, and save each one individually and then save the tutorial and then having to replug in each and every image from the bigger saved visible ones... it'd be a ruddy nightmare!!!
The range and scope of the tutorials in this and the Wings forum have been the main reason for me staying here and liking it so much here, so if this is ending, it's a poor excuse for a forum that Renderosity will become and no amount of avatars or fancy signatures will EVER make up for it.
I thought the idea of changing over to php was to make things easier - not harder.
So please just lets hope it's all just temporary...
