Larger NPC Portraits and Image Hosting

Subject line pretty much sums it up..

It'd be awesome if the NPC portrait could be bigger, since on some of today's really high resolution monitors they are pretty small.

Additionally, it would be cool to be able to have private image hosting, that could only be linked from within the site. I'd even pay more if you added that as an option.

I'd also be in favor of a paid storage upgrade option.

Thanks for making/running the site!

It would certainly make sense to lift the NPC portrait size limit for paid users. As for image hosting and storage upgrades, I may need to do some hardware upgrades to accommodate that. A hardware upgrade may have to happen soon in any case. When that does occur, I'll be keeping exactly these sort of feature in mind!

Thanks for the reply! Nice to know you are open to these types of suggestions.

Just to be clear, I have no problem with the NPC 'avatars' being kinda small but when you hit the "+" to expand the info and get the NPC details, I would like to see the 'avatar' picture get bigger or have the details include a larger picture.

I will +1 this.

In th short term you can drop an [img] in the description box which is what have done from the beginning. In fact for some NPCs I drop multiple pics for the NPC, symbol, crest or such.

It's almost the better way to do things -- there isn't much reason to host pictures here when there are plenty of services out there that both specialize in it and do it for free (other then having portrait tiles, of course)

@Admin: A Float: Right option for images with some padding on the left and bottom (so type will auto adjust around it all nice like) would be great. It'd really make character sheets, items, and wiki entries look great.

That would be very useful. Perhaps something like: [ IMG:floatright]http://www.epicwords.com/user_imgs/0000/0253/EWAvatar1_thumb.jpg[/IMG]

That would be great. Any page can be set up with nice images on the side and they can be hosted anywhere. Total +1!

EDIT: www.photobucket.com - on the off chance someone doesn't know about it.

Not to hamper efforts here, but imgur.com has free, unlimited, unrestricted and linkable image hosting.

Otherwise, I think it's a good idea, to the point that I would love to see, by default, NPCs with assigned images have them displayed in a larger format when you expand their description box.
