Trying to submit any sizable unicode string fails, and comes back as garbage.
.I wanted to use.⠑⠸⠑⠉⠞⠗⠊⠉ ⠎⠓⠑⠑⠏, but only the first character shows up.

Yeah, because the Unicode characters get escaped when put into the database, so you end up with ☯ taking up the space of seven characters as "&#9775;" and so forth. You can usually only get one or two awesome characters in at most.

Nice feature. I have to say that everyone using unicode symbols now looks like a box to me but if you guys want to be Wapanese fags, be my guest.

Shin, you should reduce your image displayname to 19 pixels. The dimensions for that space is 131x19 pixels. Your image displayname is currently 22 pixels and that is why there is a tiny bit of space below it. It's not that big a deal but I thought I'd let you know.

It depends. Right now I could put biggermiu in there. We need to put a few restrictions in place before that happens because it will probably get abused if we don't. Right now it's under control being staff-only.

Well true. All they'd need at the moment is webspace to manipulate or a php script that would load biggermiu. But people already know that isn't allowed. Hmmm I think I see your point.

Wouldn't just limiting the image size to something that doesn't stretch the postbit be a good solution?

(Other than the dynamic-loading stuff that was mentioned earlier, of course.)

Hardly I can wait. How do you guys implement such feature like these?

I dunno, you need to ask upper management about that. Also, I didn't say that it was definitely going to come, it was just a guess

Storing the image on the server, as with avatars would limit the max size nicely.

Of course, keeping it staff exclusive is a far better idea...

I agree with Shin. Why whould we always have the same things as the mods and supers? We got custom names and titles.
Sure, it would be nice, but I say let the mods have something special. (Aside from banning and messing around with us, that is...)

I think it would be cool if admins or smods could give people special image titles though. It'd be fun to mess around with. I still wish smods could mess with people's custom titles. I mean we can mess with avatars and sigs so why not.

Well, there's always the possibility to give it to contest winners or other special members like custom titles back in the days when having one used to be a priviledge.

That would be easy to do, since the ability to use images as your display name is based on usergroup.
