I'm not sure how it works here, but I think that each member has around 1MB of storage on the website, if not my bad. I noticed how some important members like mods or outstanding mappers have their own websites. If we have universal space on the site I think that each member should be able to have their own, while they have to maintain it. If the restriction of 1MB per person is enforced, this would lead to no problem at all. The websites would be:

http://yourname.staredit.net

I think it would be a good idea.

What in Christ's sake don't you like about the currect space you have?

My Control - Personnal Space. Wow. So much for hard labour...

We cannot host websites at this time. Maybe in the future we will allow members to create mini websites for their maps.

We do not have the space to host too many things. Already as it is, we host backups, up to 10mb maps/files, and attachments. More than what I can say for many other sites in the community.

Ok Yoshi, I was just thinking that the size that each member has could go towards his/her site. Does it take that much more space to have an attached website?

maybe instead of mini sites for people's maps, mini site with galleries / etc for their profile

Anything would be a good idea, I just remembered how moose had his own site, and I thought that if everyone could have one that it would be very cool.

Thats not too bad of an idea. Allow them to change it to fit with all the maps they've made.

We would be mostly restricting how much HTML you put in

We don't host files on other sites, we've always hosted our own. Sorry.

Omg! What if we just had a spot for maps made that automatically updates itself. Like a dedicated section for that. Then, each map could have some extensive mini profile if you wish. Perhaps. Although, I don't think there could be too much more to add over the author's notes in the dldb section. I guess not?
Along with that, more member options like direct links to attack their army, pet, etc and a bigger section for personal notes and whatever else instead of an itty bity spot for interests. Then perhaps a bigger spot for your personal photo.

Don't like where this is going. Lol. Last update if I remember correct, crashed the forums. but either way... Direct linking to attacking armies would be a good idea.
Isolated owes me an apple.

This Mini profile seems like a good idea.

You go into my regular profile and then you could click on a link like "Mini Profile" or something like that and I'll post a brief description of my Maps/Tutorials and things like that.
Also a journal like at BlizzForums would be nice.

If HTML is enabled someoen will have to help me with it or make it very newb friendly for me tongue.gif

It would actually take a while since Yoshi and IP are recoding the site and then they'll start with Invision v2.1 once it comes out.

One lastt thingy.... um..
About the allowed size for signitures... I really thing it should be updated some... To where like if a signiture picture (Mine for example) take up all the space.. should allow some space for words only...

Put in the rules like:...


600 x 200 signiture pictures only..
and 2 lines of text under or above the picture... Therefor the person could put like.. Map percentages or put links to things..

On the topic of mini sites, I noticed Clan (U) has their own webspace with StarEdit.net (like Staredit.net/ClanU or something). I was wondering if this was offered to only them or to all seemingly stable clans?

Well, you know how you have a file backup, and this space uses your global space? Why not do the same thing for paela's idea?

If I understand you correctly, I believe we already have it. It is called "card".

Why not make the border lines much more clear for those who are running Interent Explorer? Right now I have to guess to see if my sig fits.

There is no reason for any change here. Just because the limits are 600 x 200 doesn't mean you HAVE to make your signature images 600 x 200. If you want to fit more, make your image smaller, like the rest of us. One of the reasons I love this site is the fact there aren't gigantic signatures taking up half a page.

We gave it to Clan (U) because of their reputation, plus I am good friends with many of the leaders and members. We offer forum hosting for clans, I doubt it'll go much past that any time soon.

Oh but you missed a detail there Moose.. Some people can't make their images smaller.. For some people have computer technical related issues.. I can't have the siggy pic I have right now any smaller than 600 x 150.. it'le lose it's color.. Get distored.. and the words just flat out get blurry..
This may just be so it won't matter I guess.. but I really thing there should be a little more space... besides some people like their images the full size.. Alot better quality...

and Yoshi... *Donald Trump Hand Jesture* You're fired!!!

Lack of technical skills in image editing is no reason for us to extend the limits in sig sizes. A lot of people don't even know how to use an image editing program, let alone are able to create a decent looking sig.

Again I must correct...........
MY COMPUTER... Does not allow certain things... Not even if someone were to of sent me what I want done...
AGAIN,,, Some people LIKE having full sized pictures...

I'm not forcing anyone to change anything or telling them to. I'm just saying it'd be a good idea if you were to do so..
