I am not certain as to whether or not someone has suggested
this already, so I apologize in advance if someone has.
Anyway, I believe that there should be a way to upload your own
photos to use to custom the page. I made some pictures to show how
it would function and what it would look like. The uploading tool would look and function something like
this:
This would be just like the other options (Select Header Banner
and Select Background Image). You would select this one option
instead of selecting both a banner and background image as you
normally would.
The result would look something like this: (I used some of my
own art to prevent art theft issues)
Idea is perfect, and I'm sure someone has mentioned it. I was told
one way to edit that stuff involved downloading, and I'm not into
that. This is so much easier and convenient.
@Meowstic
Yes, I am aware of that. However, some people don't want to have to
spend their time downloading the app (or whatever it is, I'm not
sure) and doing whatever else it requires. I would've done so
myself, but I, personally, was having trouble with it. That, and
this just seems like this would take much less time and effort.
I hold the same opinion on this as on another suggestion:
That aside: Stylish is an add-on you can get for your browsers. I
use it on my home computer and my phone, and it makes things a lot
more personalized. (Though it does sometimes break things when the
coding on the site is updated...) So it's not that big of a deal to
get it.[/quote]
Now on to the part that I support:
Having a way to use a third party hosted image and set it as the
header and background would be awesome. This way PH isn't hosting
it and space isn't being used up by large images from various
users. (Could you imagine the thousands of massive images for the
backgrounds?!)
It also gives the users a way for a personal background and header,
much like selecting the already existing ones.
Unlike Stylish edits, this would allow the staff banners to replace
the custom banners on the staff birthdays!!! Honestly, this is the
main downfall for using Stylish, at least for me.
And I guess it's a snippet (an important one, this is the factor
which I guess will make it impossinle for it to implement.): I'm
not sure, but I remember hearing that the avatars are stored on a
different server. So, if the avatars alone require so much space
then what will happen if users begin changing their backgrounds and
all? How many servers will taht require?
Though I love the suggestion, but it will be a pain implementing
it.
I like the idea of this but there a tiny problem
That is the page will be slow to load and then there is like if the
image is not store in server then if you switch the device then the
image wont be there and lastly its take more server same to store
all our images for alll the people,use *i think thought *
I like the idea in general ^+^
I guess it would be better to save server space to implement
interesting new features rather than personalising the
backgrounds.
If every SECOND user even changes the background... The site will
become more laggy than it is, thus hampering the progress. And I
havent heard of ANY site (releated to pokemon, at least) which
offers this option.
So, I'll stick with a No support and save the sever space for more
fun features.
@ PkmnTrainer, Gpxplus.net offers this service, but iirc, they host
the coding for that on a separate server, which is how they got
around the possible lag problem they could have had.
Mind you, it's not like stylish exactly, where you can use custom
backgrounds and such, but it gave us the option to change
backgrounds and such that whatever colour we wanted to, which was
really nice.
as it stands though, I'm leaning more towards no support. It'd be
really nice to have, but at the current moment, without a server
dedicated for this specific function, there isn't really a need for
it.
You can already use the Stylish app to upload your own banners for
the front page. There is a guide on PH how to make Stylish banners,
and it's not really a big deal, people. Otherwise I'm neutral.

there! if you'd like to learn more about me, go check my

What if someone can't download something, but still wants custom
designs?
I'm literally unable to download stuff, and I really want custom
designs.
