"Ami Sapphire"
"shakespearerules"
"The Rabbity Thing"
"little lizard"
"LamingtonQueen"

I think it's a good idea to have these options, but was wondering if you could make it a bit like Firefox's NoScript add-on with the White List? So you can add sites that YOU think are safe to your own white list, and Gaia isn't responsible if something gets through. That way, you could choose to see images from your own domain, say, or from a friend's with no problems, or a site you regularly visit and think safe. So the white list can be edited to have more 'safe' options, but they're different for each user. I don't know how possible that is, but that would be totally sweet, I think 3nodding
I second this. 3nodding
The Rabbity Thing says.. I also do agree with this. 3nodding

Sixthed! Anything that gives me the option is more loved than preset options. heart

Bonsoir! Can i offer a suggestion?

If you are gonna be disabling things like tinypic and other url-shortening addresses, could it be possible to increase the number of characters allowed in signatures? To link to a guild in Gaia is a minimum of 64 characters:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?guild_id=][/url]

To link to a thread is shorter if you know how to doctor those long links:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.40085461/][/url]
instead of:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/site-feedback/bring-back-the-images/t.40085461/][/url]
(That's 55 vs. 91 characters.)

The minimum Photobucket link is 54 characters.
[img]http://a1.photobucket.com/albums/a1/x/x.png[/img]
(And it gets much longer quickly when you ad the user name, image name and any directories.)

So the minimum length for a link to a guild with an image is 118 characters:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?guild_id=]
[img]http://a1.photobucket.com/albums/a1/x/x.png[/img]
[/url]


Now, when you add the user name and image name, that has to be an extra ten characters at least. That means that a single link to a guild with an image is going to be bigger than 128 characters.

And that means that you cannot have two of those links in your signature. You can only link to one guild at a time with an image if you have a 255 character limit. You may be able to swing one link to a guild and one link to a thread (like, for a petition), but that's stretching it, and you won't be able to add a comment like "the concept of beauty may be elusive, but a rose is simply beautiful" on top of that. That's kinda limiting.

So why not increase the character limit to, say, 512, if we can't use url-shortening?

I would imagine the problem isn't what sites and images you consider appropriate, but whether the people forced to look at those same sites and images consider them so. And I'm still looking for the options listed above, so now I'm confused. Were they implemented already, or are they to be implemented soon?

To be implemented. Panagrammic stated that its currently in QA , which means they are working to make sure everything works near-flawlessly.
     
I'll scar as much as you, but I won't let that stop me from making things right.
After all, I did make a promise...

I just have a minor request (that will most likely be ignored, but asking won't hurt) - Can the default option PLEASE be the "Show all images" option and people can change it to the "white list pictures" ?
When only photobucket images get displayed all other images will be displayed as links and many new members will never figure out that they are actually meant to be images. ( I mean, most members don't even seem to know where the account settings are!)

This could be disturbing to many shops in the mini shop section.
