Yeah, might be a nice thing to add in, plus due to the fact this site uses PHPBB as it's codebase, then the following would work when added as a custom BBCode:

As the user entered string:
[svg]{URL}[/svg]

The HTML replacement:
<object data="{URL}" type="image/svg+xml">
<embed src="{URL}" type="image/svg+xml" />
</object>

So yeah, I've seen many ways this could have been made use of and would make for amazing userpage designs.

Thanks

If you want people to support this, you'd have to explain to us what this is. Most people wouldn't want to look up what you really mean by this.

Give us examples or something.

Well, for one, the graphics can display at the same quality on different DPI displays without blurring/enlarging stupidly.
They can have links embedded into them, as in, you can add images within them which you can give a non-square clickable area.
And as far as I know, they can be interactive too.

I don't know if it's really necessary, not many people know what a vector is to start with.

Still supporting, I'd love to see this and it would be fun to mess around with.

Bump because my thread is dupe. SVG files also supports transparent area, and link on some objects (either HTTP or relative link). So, sig makers could make a more precise linking using 1 SVG instead multiple JPG/PNGs.

EDIT: I think this SVG file should be cached too alongside other images to i.ppy.sh

I like this idea~
