Agreed. Personally, I wish this site were easier to lynx|links|w3m with, but Moz is just fine with me, too.

Please no. Perlmonks is slow enough already. If you like
pictures, buy a book with them, and turn a page each time
you request a page. It's faster that way, and the pictures
have a better quality.

Are the randomized monk pictures in the top-right corner of every page really not enough for you? *grin* | [reply] |

This is one of the worst suggestions for "improvements" to the Monastery I've seen yet.
How about a flash intro? : )

If Abigail-II's suggestion of a book isn't enough, put a TV next to your screen -- or run a TV tuner application in a corner of your screen.
If you're complaining about the lack of graphics on this site, it seems to me that you've completely missed the point of this community. Why not just use your own CSS? You could embed as many graphics in there as you like.

You don't seem willing to learn from
previous
lessons.
The reason why this site is so good and well appreciated
is because people like it the way it is. Every time you come up
with some wise idea about how to "improve" it, you
are just showing that you don't belong in.
This year, you have posted a root node 26 times
in Perl Monks Discussion. Are you trying to get a
permanent place in worst nodes?
Get a life! :-)

One useful use of graphics I could think of is when someone need to accompany his question or reply with graphics, such as screenshots or graphs. Majority of the posts don't need it, however.
Some sites have two versions of (almost) all their pages: text-only and regular. But I guess it would be too much work for our host.

I don't really want people putting web bugs in their signatures so that they can track my IP address every time one of their nodes is displayed. If you don't think this would happen, then you haven't paid very close attention to lots of home nodes.
Allowing <img ...> tags also opens up worse cross-site security holes (and, no, I don't feel like giving a tutorial on how to write these, so please rant at me about "security through obscurity" now).

Would there really be people sick enough to track your IP? Sort of saying "Hey guys, look tye is now at his friend's place and not at home!" and keep a statistic of it? Thank the Gods I have a dynamic IP (and three firewalls) ;-) CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law

Sometimes screen shots help, but I would be afraid people would start misusing such a feature and really messup things. If you want to demostrate something graphically just post a link to it like so. | [reply] |
