{{UnknownChaser|time=Time is base on the reality of our fantasy.|Noctis=I want and did an experiment, so I use the [http://www.khwiki.net/Template:User_Sora Sora fan user box], as you can see this is the current coding for it, and I took the [http://www.khwiki.net/File:Kh-sora.jpg image] that was use for it and resize to [http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/203/sora50x50.png 50x50], then I replace the current one with the resize image and tested the image out and got [http://www.khwiki.net/User:UnknownChaser/Fira this], as you can see the images are both the same and so is the quality for them, but the coding is different.}} | |||

BUT we still would not be able to link= or put captions on them. | |||
Also, @DTN, [[:File:AquaWinner.png|this]] gets us closer to being done? {{The Inexistentsig}} 16:26, 20 March 2011 (EDT) | |||

*facepalm* Sorry, I was thinking of other images... {{The Inexistentsig}} 22:36, 22 March 2011 (EDT) | |||

We can't let this die out--it's becoming a problem in auditing. For example, while I was auditing images, I had to leave a ton of images unchecked because we hadn't decided on this. While there is certainly more effort required in resizing the images off-wiki, there is also the risk of exceeding Photobucket's bandwidth limit. We could try Lego/Kryten's idea of using the KHWikia URL's, though if they ever change their image names, we have to as well. Additionally, we could make this simple as say that if a user wants to use a userbox, it's their own responsibility to fix the image until we complete the syncing. | |||
This is urgent, so I'm willing to just go into a staff election-style voting, with justification and discussion of course, if everyone is ready. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 18:54, 2 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
:I say just get a tinypic account, they don't have a bandwidth limit. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 19:05, 2 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
::I second Erry's notion. I'll have some time soon, so I can resize a lot of the userbox images that don't require a white background (as I can't make them transparent). {{The Inexistentsig}} 22:12, 3 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
