Sove Talk to Me! — "I dunno. I can't... just look inside. But I figure... If there is something in there - inside us - then we'd feel it, wouldn't we?" "No one would miss me." — 14:16, 4 August 2011 (EDT) Let's just make it straight, I'm absolutely fed up with these images that follow your screen on talk pages, especially when they are placed on the lower-right corner of the screen, they easily prevent you to read a part of the last messages because you can't usually scroll the text to be visible due to the page ending, like you can do when the image is elsewhere on the right side of the screen. One example is Gr8champ's talk page. That wayfinder keeps blocking the text when you scroll the screen, you can read the blocked text by scrolling, but look at the last message. You need to play around with the scrolling bar to be able to see that one word it blocks (but it looks like there is more text than only one word), it's incredibly annoying when I have to use more effort to read the last message from the talk page. I talked about this on the irc as well and some others considered this image stuff to be annoying as well, so what should we do, restrict the image stuff and make the reading much more enjoyable, or let those image-monsters make readers pissed off? I think the wiki should aim for the option one. And even if those didn't block parts of the text, they are still annoying, I can see the goddamn picture when I open the talkpage, I don't need it to follow my screen to know that I have seen it. My suggestion are: - Images may not follow the screen if they exceed a certain size (30x30px should be sufficient so they won't block parts of the text) - No such images on the left side at all, not only because they can block parts of the text, but also because they look extremely annoying there, and many times they go on top the navbar My text is quite confusing but I hope you see my meaning. Objection and more suggestions are of course welcome.

Keyblade0 - Should I open the Treasure Chest? TALK - I just obtained a potion! — 14:39, 4 August 2011 (EDT) OBJECTION! I Object the idea of objecting this idea. Yeah, I agree with Sove those images can get annoying. If a don't get me, the 2 objections basically cancel each other out. I am against the objection to this idea. Get it now? :P

KrytenKoro - "Space Corp Directive 195—In an emergency power situation, a hologrammatic crew member must lay down his life in order that the living crew members might survive."  "Yes, but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly: 'No chance, you metal bastard.'" TALK - Instead of banning them completely, how about just asking people not to use them on talk pages, which are, after all, an inbox, not a decoration page.
