  1. It can return an image (or an invalid link), the closing tag, followed by malicious script after that. Or to make things look even more legit, another img tag with no closing, which will be closed by the original closing, though that's not necessary. That will ruin the HTML already. Think about it. Those people who develop IPBoard are professional. If it's not available, there must be a set of reasons. What's your point of proposing this, anyway? Just for a dynamic image, right? Just go get a gif. If you fancy yourself smart at technology, you will know that there are alternatives to accomplish your demand, like with gif. Just set the frame rate so that it changes every five minutes or whatever.
  2. It's not really a problem of making it working. The development isn't worth it, and development isn't only about making things work. On your plan, your server returns a random image in response to browser's request. One could have set a script that returns millions of words instead of just a friendly image, and anyone who sees the post will swear to the lag and messy interface. Not to mention if they're malicious or not. Of course, the server isn't directly attacked, and you still can set filters for it. More code, time, effort, and filter still eats the performance. There are so many people who are smarter than you or me in hacking out there. They may bypass it easily. I may be not a web master, but I do know a little bit about running a project and secure coding, and one thing I know is that the less power you give to your client, the better. If you give them power to use custom script, danger can come in a wide variety. After all, the usefulness of this feature isn't worth it.
  3. Oh. So that's what you're going to do. That's still- well, let's make this simple and brief. Pushing all the... oddities and other technical reasons aside, why do you think they have to spend their time to implement this change? Perhaps you're the only one who will use it. It's not a worthwhile investment. There are still many things those staff (or mods, whatever) need to develop. The character minimum still doesn't work, and other stuff. Poniverse, Pony.fm, and MLPForums themselves still need a serious attention. Not everyone here has their own server, or at least has the interest to do the same thing. People would choose a more feasible way if they want to accomplish the same goal. If they want a dynamic image on their post, they can simply get a gif. It's much easier, safer, and more efficient. It's not the problem of it will work or not. Software development is much more than that. The question is, is it worth it?
  4. What the... Please explain to me. I don't think I get what you're saying. You're putting a PHP script here, which makes a request to your remote server, which then responds to the request by sending an image which is randomly selected from a set of pre-defined images hosted on your server. Am I correct? If I am, then how is MLPForums supposed to make the request to your remote server if MLPForums doesn't run the script that makes the request? Other than that, you can always makes a gif which contains that set of images, and set the frame rate so that the signature changes every 5 minutes or whatever. It's very light, and safe.
  5. For now, it's Skyrim. It's very well-designed. The immersion is very strong and most of the game components don't break the immersion. Those components don't remind me that I'm in a game. It's very good, unless the inventory system. It pauses the world when I use it. Kinda ruining the immersion, even though it makes it easier to survive. The character creation is good, and other stuff. Mount & Blade Warband. I also love that game. It's very realistic and open, even though the technology is somewhat outdated. You can make your own army, get companions, upgrade weapons, and stuff. The character development is balanced as well. It's very RPG-ish. The game is very open and flexible. You can also find a lot of mods, like Game of Thrones mods and stuff. I also love Monster Hunter. The world is very attractive to explore, and the hunting experience feels very real. Legit monsters, items, weapons, but the game can get boring after awhile, since you're just basically lurking in the same areas over and over. I think that's all I can remember at the moment. The theme is very depressing to me. Reminds me of death. ;_; Very good game, though. It's thrilling and the combat thingy is very different than most zombie games. It's not just about blasting the shit out of massive walking corpses. It requires skills. dat hearing sense The concept is very cool, having an entity and stuff, but the gameplay is horrible. Game designers back then had tried making movie-like games and they failed very badly, and David Cage is repeating it, just with a better technology.
  6. For using a clop pic as an avatar when first came here. Yup. That one.
  7. I forget his name now. It's that boy who argued with Hyper Tumble and has an avatar of a man with weird mask. No, I'm not talking about an orange mask.
  8. Known for liking Paris Swing Box. I have no idea why, though. I think time will give the thing. Do I look guilty to you?
  9. On the bottom of the page. Can you scroll down to the footer? You will see the Change Theme menu there, next to an orange logo. Click that, and you will see the mobile version option.
  10. If you want a dynamic picture, get a gif and you will be fine. I won't talk much. You don't seem to understand what you're talking about. Simply said, allowing custom PHP script can compromise the website's security. Injection and shits. One can put a malicious piece of code in a form of PHP file and the site will run it. Those people who develop IPBoard know the reasons. That's why it's not available now. If it's about allowed image extensions, I will ask for .webp. It's very light, you see. It's a worthwhile investment for development.
  11. Sky Warden x Sky Warden Screw the game rules!
  12. They said it's going to be a kind of character bank they may or may not use in their projects (not just one). A huge mistake, in my opinion. You make a story, then make the characters needed to fill the roles, not the opposite.
  13. I thought it was a scar on your forehead. Nice pictures, by the way, even though your dog looks kinda creepy since it only shows the mouth and muzzle.
  14. For being a teenage girl who needs to grow some more hair.
  15. Actually I like your hair on that one picture.
