Adding NSFW to links please

[tonyvid]

Can those with slightly dodgy websites in their profiles please add a NSFW for us - I just had a look at 5%'s profile and rather wished I knew where the link would take me, nothing about the URL indicates it would be an adult site so I now have some iffy pics on my work PC - opps. I have nothing against adult sites but would really rather not visit them from work as I don't want a talking to. Ta

Hello

[silversun]

What about having some kind of roll over link in threads which says NSFW when people have been posting pic of ladies in their underwear? So when someone posts a picture up, they have an option to tag it as NSFW, so the picture doesn't actually appear on the thread but would appear if you rolled over it.

An interesting idea...

The problem is people should put NSFW after a link post and they don't everytime, so they could ignore the new feature too. Also pictures straight in the forum that are of offensive nature need to be removed through several reasons:

• This is a family site
• It's against our hosting license

Regardless if they are rollover or not.

True, so what about removing the option and making it compulsory before posting pictures? That would also eliminate the hugely annoying thing where people quote a post with a picture in it so it appears ad infinitum all the way down the page.

Re. the offensive pictures - you're right, but they often get left up and they not necessarily offensive, but also not the kind of stuff you want people to see over your shoulder at work.

You have to apply some common sense though, as a NSFW picture isn't likely to be added to a sensible thread, whereas a thread in the P&P with dubious content is more likely.

On a related note, there have been a few requests for the option to turn off embedded images within threads. Some of us "work" in open plan offices you know

Not sure how easy that would be with the current architecture.

I think the option to turn off embedded links is a good idea, and I have added it to the future list, though it will also turn off any smileys not on PH's official list.

Why not just disable images in the browser?

Well... blocking all images from all sites would mean having to change setting each time you want to look at legitimate images (plus for a lot a of websites a fair amount of content is actually in the images). In firefox, adding an image block specifically for www.pistonheads.com removes the quote button (and a few others), which isn't ideal.

It's possible to do it via the browser, but more elegant to do it directly in pistonheads. The only real problem I have with the images in threads is that sometimes innocuous threads have images that would be intersting to explain if seen on screen in a work environment. No problem with the other images on the site such as the adverts etc...
