Simon Brown Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 @sabrown:Do you mean that those who do have a DA account should be able to show a flash version of their artwork as in the WAAM forums?

vista? Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 @sabrown:Do you mean that those who do have a DA account should be able to show a flash version of their artwork as in the WAAM forums? If I don't make sense, I truly apologise. Yes Then I'm completely with you on this idea! It would be a superb idea. Put your images on DA, and view them as flash "content". I hope this idea gets implemented! If this happens, I might just get a DA account. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this idea gets implemented! Da already lets you do that - but the flash tag isn't available in this forum probably to reduce annoyance but this code would only let someone view the da image view control which can be easily embedded into HTML.

david.atwell Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Flash on the forum would NOT be fun. Much tougher to regulate, much harder to flip through to make sure everything is still good.

And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales.

What if a tag was added that didn't use flash - just embeded an image simply by posting the url of the da page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Also, just to specify, you mention the Galleria as a forum - I thought that would be a thread as people would comment in the image's thread in Personal Galleries. Can you please explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 No, the Galleria is just a thread where the best of the best go. Comments still go in personal galleries.

Simon Brown Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 And the image hospital? Surely if that was just a thread it would suffer the same problems with the current pictorium, but to a bigger extreme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 We're going to give it a shot as-is. It's a beta; if we find we need a subforum, we'll do it. But we sort of feel that eliminating the "noise" that can go into the umbrellas and personal galleries will make the situation a bit better.

david.atwell Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 It's just a pictorium, sabrown. It's in no way compulsory. If you don't want to use it, get a dA.
