Forget that!
Here's what I like:
Avatars that have been well-designed and fit into the forum, that aren't just 'picture blocks'.
I dislike most avatars though.
I think the forum should disallow avatars. But here's something I would suggest - if a member can prove that they're good at designing an avatar then an examption could be allowed - avatars for those with the best design skills. Opinion?
Well, that sets Mark and his group up to be judges. And as soon as someone passes and someone else fails, there will surely be hard feelings.Quote:

Who needs to be judges, and whats with all the hooha?
We either can or cant have them, and they can be anything as long as not offensive, if they are, then the member gets punished.
SIMPLE.
Excactly, we should be allowed a small avatar and a smallish signature picture (nothing massive/rude)
That's just elitest and designed for only the certain few.Quote:

As for the comment on load times. Firstly, not all servers are equal and some are better connected or more powerful than others. Secondly, not all Internet users have equal computer equipment or Internet connections.
You can have a picture on your profile if you want it.
Load time problems are sorted with a (not too shabby) kb + size limit.
Well, avatars could be external to the forum like flags. Therefore, bandwidth is not an issue ;)
As I said before, we should enter 21st century :cool: :p :
