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)


Please feel free to post any ideas and/or opinions you have ♥

Support. It would make your page more unique and more like your own user page.

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.

//SUPPORT!
YES! Please! I've always wanted to customize my background, but I didn't want to have to get this thing called "Stylish".

Um...I don't know if I should agree or not because there is already "Stylish" where we can edit PH look...

But it would be more comfortable with no downloading , so yeah I support

@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:
QuoteAllowing you to upload your artwork onto a Pokeheroes server would just take up space that Riako actually needs for the website, so I don't see why you'd want to hinder the website just because you're too lazy to find a third-party hosting site.

And there is no way to have Pokeheroes accept files directly from your computer without them being uploaded, since those files are hosted locally instead of on a domain on the internet.



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.

I'm neutral.
I support because some people get tired using 'Stylish'.

And I don,t support because of the reasons Navuso pointed out.

I feel like supporting for this.
You can also use Stylish for this purpose. But using it is hard, and many people get tired doing it.

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 think this suggestion will guide you how to change PH background and banner of your own choice.

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.

All the same, we'd have a new server for new features rather than enhancing PH looks. It looks nice in how it is currently.

Please read the spoiler for more (It's related to the harvest sprites)

If any newbies try the feature, they may be detained to find the harvest sprite which is found at the ocean background.

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.

Support.
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.
