The little blue light sabres reminded me that a long time ago, in a place not so far away, I suggested that we add an avatar feature to the site. Why should the site council have all the fun with little icons?
Actually, I would really, even more than small avatars, like to see profile pics posted with messages. It puts a face on the message, making the community feel more real.
But in any case, it would be nice to have a more personalized touch in the icon spot.

Great idea!!
I don't suppose that would be to hard to do? (I don't know anything about that sort of programming.)

And take away the only Perk we get for all the hard work we put into keeping this site up and running for you guys? I think not. ;)
There is a lot of dead space beneath the name and camera info on most posts -- it would be nice to be able to customize that area.
This is of course with the caveat that it be kept within reason -- for instance, a profile pic would be good, but only if there was a preference so those on dial-up could turn them off.
Personalizing the posts add to the individuality each brings to the site. ;)
I agree with crayon - how about a few to choose from? Doesn't have to be all that elaborate. I have to say, I really do not like the girl avatar hairdo. It's very dorky and makes me feel self-conscious. :op
With a great big smile to establish that I am not trying to be rude or cruel or inconsiderate of those who need to express themselves....
I HATE CUSTOM AVATARS!!!! THEY ARE THE CURSE OF THE INTERNET!!!!!
For those who might not understand, the biggest reason I hate them is that there is absolutely no way to make them be pictures of the actual person. They could be any graphic. And besides, does ANYBODY want to see this.... every time Leroy makes a post???
I can't say it enough. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no custom avatars. Selectable ones I could handle as long as they are small and similar to what we have now.
By the way, Konador, I'm sure Redjulep doesn't mean to be insulting your personal artwork with the comment about the dorky hairdo. We still appreciate your hard work and dedication to the site. :)
