O.P. Shocked  Suggestion: Current Desktop in Profile!
Well, I was thinking earlier, instead of us posting these massive, several hundred reply threads every month with our desktop screenshots in them, why don't we just include them in our user CP? Put some kind of selector on screen resulotion so a properly scaled thumbnail appears, and a link to the full size shot? Of course there should be a max file size, but over all, what do you think?


Edit: Here's something along the lines of what I mean (Click to Enlarge)(Updated: may have to 'F5' the page to get the new version):

well like I said, there should be a file size limit :P but I mean we do thos threads every month anyways....

and if it is decided the servers don't have enough room, we could make it so they are hosted on outside servers/hosts only.

RE: Suggestion: Current Desktop in Profile!
To know somebody's pc specifications is not interesting at all to me. Why would i care if somebody has either a 286 or quad Athlon 64 system, so i would vote no for that. Desktop looks nice, but it don't really see the point in it yet, so that would be "Why the fuck would I care?".

The desktop thing is cool (there's probably not enough space for that here though :(), but I don't like the specs thing for the same reasons as MenthiX... I just don't care about other's specs, really. I like my computer nice and fast but it just needs to work... :P

(yay, post number 486! :P)

That's just a total unusefull feature.
I haven't been active here in ages.
If you're wondering who i am, read my reputations. I used to make plugins, skins and spam the IRC channels here back in the good old days before Windows Live.

This idea is really good, I think it would be easier if you hosted the desktop yourself though, or get someone else to host it, because then you won't have DZ or anyone being pissed off with the pictures on server.
