Images Disabled In ChatBox

[Roy 10,832 / 0]

Hello everybody, I just wanted to let you know that we disabled images in the ChatBox. This was being introduced in the 7.23.16.1 update.

 

There are a few reasons we disabled the images. The most important reason was to potentially increase performance. For example, if a user has bad download speeds, when a image is posted that is around ~1 MB, it takes extra time to load the page. Sadly, there is no way to limit the image's maximum size.

 

Other reasons include images sometimes breaking the ChatBox (e.g. stretching the ChatBox off the page), etc.

 

While I do understand a lot of you like being able to post images in the ChatBox, users with bad download speed do suffer.

 

Thanks.

I heard a while back we were waiting for the old Shoutbox to update or whatever to replace the Chatbox we currently have with it, is that still a possibility?

 

also, rip any and all harambe memes that were posted

But then how will I stay up to date on the fresh new memes all the hip kids are posting online?

Let the Purge begin...

It would not really be a fix but more of an option, would it at all be possible for people to toggle images? There would still be the issue of first time load onto the site but after that they could disable images in some settings

So what now?

Direct image links instead that people can click, rather than loading the image itself?

Thats actually probably a better idea, since if I wanted I could force anyone to see what I want with images that load automatically.
