Motion Passed: Turn On Images in All Forums

Moved by RichMSN and seconded by kokonutz:

"The TalkBoard recommends that images be turned on for all current and new forums on FT."

This vote will close on March 20, 2012, at 12:35pm or after all TalkBoard members have registered their vote, whichever comes first

Per the TalkBoard Guidelines:

A motion shall pass if at least two-thirds of the yes or no votes cast by TalkBoard members are yes and a majority of the total TalkBoard membership votes 'yes.'

The purpose of posting voting topics in the public TalkBoard Topics forum is to solicit member feedback on any motions that are up for a vote and to allow for comments after a vote is made. It is at the sole discretion of the individual TalkBoard members whether they choose to post in the public discussion thread, there being no requirement to do so.

So while there is already a thread and discussion on this general topic and it is safe to assume that TalkBoard members have reviewed that thread, this thread is about this specific motion.

Please feel free to post questions, comments or any other sort of feedback in this thread, or in the other discussion thread(s).

Getting "turned on" could be.

I'm for pics, though thumbnails are the best option for this FTer, if it is an option.

Not sure I would want to look at pics in the Omni forums though.

You're too late for that, as it was decided on June 6, 2011, to allow images in OMNI and OMNI P/R. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...-omni-p-r.html

That said, are images allowed in OMNI Games, since the motion was specific to OMNI and OMNI P/R, as the Games forum didn't exist at that time?

Given that most every forum already allows pictures, it makes sense to go ahead and be consistent across all the forums.

I guess at this time they might not be, but this current motion will certainly take care of it if they're not.

True, but I was curious as to if images had been turned on for OMNI Games when it was created.

IMHO, it should matter in principle, let it be "oops" or not.

But in reality, there's so much "oops" going on between splitting out OMNI/Games and post counts. This "turn-on-oops" just went under the radar. This current motion, however, will take care of that unnoticed oops.
