Where did they come from? Who was the first person to have one? Why are the boards flooded with them?

lol joking--kind of. But come on, seriously. I can't be the only person who thinks these fug up the forums.

lmao I have one now points to the right

Keith was the first to have one. He wanted to show his art off right way up, so wrote the code.

I like them, personally.. but ever on, adblock is good :P

I personally like them. I still prefer the ones that go under/above though.

I saw his, actually. The art is cute, reminds me of Link.

I love it! It's something new and fresh! ;D

Glade I'm not alone. xD

it's... weird. D: I don't like what it does with the text and such... Like with the qoute boxes, it takes of the end line which bugs me. x: And it just... moves everyone to a side and makes really long @-@;

Good point, Rye, and yours is cute. I gotta admit--the first time I saw one, I was intrigued. They're only starting to get annoying to me now, and TBH the only place they look REALLY off is in the WADYL topic.

I liked them for all of two seconds. Yeah its neat and everything but for me its too much. I get flashbacks to other forums that all you saw was the wall of pictures in people's signatures.

Adblock is working nicely. I was surprised to see how fast the forums loaded after I started using it.

Lol, I like them; I prefer to display my art the right way, not turn it over 90 degrees.

I really like it but haha I've never really felt the urge to use it. I tried but it looks so bad when I use it XD. Oh well.

I don't think i'd use the style because it would bother my OCD if i used it xD don't feel the symmetry

but i don't think they 'fug up the forums'. i think they're a nice touch and people hae been really creative with them.

also i like the quote boxes that get lost in the images xD probably because i used to put in boxes like that all the time when i used to draw.

I've been abusing my adblock to get rid of forumtext. I wish there was an option to not view them at all.

Personally, I love the new forumtext alignment.

It's cleaner and the art looks much better than when it would be used in a top/bottom forumset. And, you don't have to split the image- you just put it there.

And the quote box behind the image just looks a lot better. It's not so boxy... XD

I think they're cute, assuming the image is transparent and doesn't eat some of the text.

I love them, just like Gunblade said, only if they are transparent. I love how the Quote box goes behind the image.

BUT! I also hate it when people have non-transparent images and everything gets eated.... x-x

Meh, I guess people have different opinions

There is an option to not view them at all, you can set it in your customCSS.

From THIS thread.

[edit]

btw. Rick Astley disapproves of this thread.

...I like them. I want to be able to show off my art right side up. It looks fuglier sideways.

Ok is it just me or does that code to remove forumtext also removes any other images in a post (not including sigs)?

Case in point- I entered code, turned off adblock then went to the WADYL board and couldn't see any HAs people posted.

Oh woah I thought I was imagining things. That's... different I dunno. I think I like them if they aren't super annoyingly huge.
