For a couple of days now we've been displaying sets of random images in the top right corner of the window.

These are images that have been uploaded to the public forums on the board. If you click on an image, it will take you to the post where it was first uploaded.

I'm interested in your opinion! Please vote in the poll and/or post your more detailed thoughts here.
 
I really like seeing our photos being displayed, however, they are a bit small. Is there a function that you could use such as picassa where they can be shuffled ?

If possible, I suggest setting it up so that someone can scroll through a series of random pictures instead of three fixed ones per day.
I think you're both asking for the same thing, i.e. a way to click through to previously displayed sets of thumbnail images. I completely agree with you, that would have been nice. The add-on doesn't support that feature, but it's something I've already suggested to the add-on developer. Unfortunately, I don't think the idea appealed to him.

There are more than one set of 3 images displayed per day. Every 10 minutes a new random set is displayed.

If you want to see bigger versions of the images, just click on them to see the full version. (That will take you to the post where they were posted.)
 
Strange thing: When I open VV in my AOL browser, I see the random images, plus the VV logo on the left. (And I see that the Halloween logo is still there.) But when I open VV in Firefox, not only are there are no random images, but there’s no logo on the left, either. This has been the case for 2 or 3 days. I had no problem seeing the logo before then. Wuzzup with that?

As for the images specifically, I'm fine with them, when I can see them, and seeing new ones every 10 minutes is okay with me, too.
 
I think they should be pushed over to the left a bit, but not necessarily centred. They are right about the menu options and the alerts kind of overlaps them a little.
 
I have it set up so it only displays images from certain forums, and the "18 plus" etc forums are not included. I can't block NSFW images, but I could get around it maybe by including only the food- related forums.

I will look into making my own modifications to the add-on.
 
I don't mind the look personally, but if the pictures had borders, or were set in some kind of border, they might look more professional.
 
I think they are a bit tacky.....it makes the site less professional looking.
What if :

.. exactly, that is how I feel as well. I think at the very least, that is one improvement I will try to make.
