Stamp Collection - NEW STAMPS NOV 2018

[Rockito]

luv these awesome idea! but i cant get it to show my signature again i even tried taking off all my stamps but my sig still wont show ;-;

You need to go to your profile, and your signature will display along with your stamp collection. There is no need to remove all of your stamps, you will see an option saying "Display under forum posts" above your whole signature. Choose that, and your signature will display normally under your posts.

Is it possible to make a stamp for inactivity in case you go to camp or something? It would really be useful in my opinion c:

^I like that idea as well. Going on vacation in August so would be nice.

I love the new stamps, thanks to all the staff who contributed c:

thank you so much for the pronoun stamps!! a bit bummed that there weren't any pride flags this time around, but it's great to know that you care about noncis people c:

edit: i didn't see this at first but i take some issue with the use of "female" and "male" pronouns. not all people who use she/her or he/him pronouns are necessarily female or male (like me -- i'm agender most of the time, but i'm fine with she/her pronouns). it'd be great if you could remove the "female" and "male" aspect on those two stamps!

i agree!! i've kinda moved on from identifying as a female, but i still use she/her/herself pronouns?? you could just write it as "i prefer she/her/herself (or he/him/himself) pronouns" or something?

This might sound criticizing, but I think this might not be such a good idea. In the roleplay forum we are not aloud more than one image per post because it slows the server, yet adding an extra post section full of images is going to make that issue better? Sorry but I have to disagree with this whole idea, it conflicts on the other rules and questions their importance.
I like the stamps and all, but this is pretty pointless considering the one image roleplay rule is still in effect.

You have more than 1 picture in your signature. A ton of people do. That applies to roleplay posts, not signatures.
also the sizes of the files aren't nearly the same

i love this idea so much

Something else I think would be nice, seeing how we have a lot of "*insert pet species here* owner" stamps, is to have one that covers all kinds of pets. Maybe a stamp could say "Professional Pet Owner" or something like that? See, I have four cats, a dog, and two guinea pigs, and since I love the pet stamps and don't want to leave anyone out, they're taking up a decent amount of space in my collection. I think a general "Pet Owner" stamp would be useful, and it would also help if people have some kind of really exotic animal that isn't covered by another stamp. ^^

Also, the Pisces horoscope stamp has the Scorpio background? Oh, nevermind. I just saw the first post update. ^^'

The issue with roleplay images is that a lot of the ones people use have rather large filesizes, which would cause the page to lag. Because roleplays often have post after post of different images, particularly with forms, the lag can become a real hassle for people on mobile, with slower internet connections, etc. The one-image rule helps to limit that.

The stamps, however, are only a few kB in size, and with everyone picking from the same collection of images, they're unlikely to create the same problem. If anything, they're better than regular signatures where people often have large images and animations that could also slow down the page considerably.

You can read the longer explanation from Nick on the first page:

Hmm, I like it but not as much because it can be a bothersome to users on mobile as more pictures can do lag. I treat it as a jigzaw puzzle omg what is wrong with me.

Although there are more of them, the filesizes are small. On average, a stamp is about 9 kB, compared to 45kB for a simple dressed pet like this one:



One animated gif from Tumblr on it can be as large as 815kB, like this one:



That's equivalent to loading 90 different stamps. And because everybody uses the same stamp images, you only have to load them once and then your browser can just cache them for next time.
