# This is the kind of thing
that makes even me get annoyed at RPS from time to time. Honestly, there's no need.

# mongy and I were yapping about it a few weeks ago
so I sent him a photo of my arse

.. just to save you lot from seeing it

I suppose it was the equivalent of squeezing a stress ball or something (the act, not the arse)

# I feel bad for him
he had to see your arse.

But yeah, it makes sense, and I understand why people have a problem with RPS/violation of guidelines/general inconsiderate posting

# you're right on this account
what's the point?

# The point is
I don't think people would have as much of a problem with RPS if the photos posted were in the same thread so not as to knock other stuff off the board, interesting to look at, and generally not something like a picture of one's foot.

# I don't mind interesting and/or funny photos
that are well done, and properly optimised. Same as for shopped images. But people see it as an excuse to post any old crap - it's the equivalent of if someone decided "Oh, lets make today 30 second paintmash Sunday"

# pance!
that's at least a 5 minute paintmash though
oooh, can I ask you a geeky question?
What html code do I need to make "image a" appear in Firefox/Opera, and "image b" appear in IE?

# not as simple as it sounds!
you need to identify the browser accessing the page hosting the image; this can be done with server side code and testing the HTTP user agent, or by client side code (JavaScript)

the javascript route may be easiest and is probably the more dependable way of doing things

have a squizz here for browser detection scripts

you can test what the browser SAYS it is (some browsers can spoof and pretend to be others) using app.name or test things like the DOM (document object model) properties - these are implemented differently between browsers)

you can then use an if..then..else constuct to document.write the correct code to the page depending on your if..then (assuming javascript is actually turned on)

# cool, cheers
I shall have a try

# but that`ll only work if the image is displayed on a HTML page
you can`t really do it if e.g. the image was going to be posted here

in that case you`d need to <img src="...."> to a script on your server that generates / returns the image, and then you`d need to depend on the user agent being OK

# Right.
Unfortunately I am too tired/lazy to think about this now. So I shall save it to be thought about later.

# 30 seconds is far too long for a 'mash.
