Avatars?

I was tooling around in the profile options and saw the Avatar option, however, it wouldn't let me upload mine.  Anyone know what gives?

I guess it's either buggy...or disabled.

disabled is my guess.  Probably a good thing for the bandwidth too.

I hope we can stay with the high-speed/low-drag approach.  At least something in my life deserves to be HS/LD! Smiley

Other avatars can be disabled in your options, apparently.
I'm used to identifying people by their avatars, rather than reading their names.
Also, what's with the new forum layout? =/

Sunday it felt a little better, but it was quite irritated from me rubbing it.

I like it without avatars; I'm on dialup.

phpBB couldn't handle the load so Oleg had to switch to punBB.  Different look and feel but faster IMO.

Oh, no avatars please.  Thanks.

I like having an avatar. But I have a cable connection.

I am on dialup, and like avatars. I have never really noticed a slow down on forums using avatars, vs forums that don't.

Static avatars are not too bad on dial-up, so long as the size is limited.  Its the animated .gif files that suck up bandwidth.

Having one here would be nice, but not really needed.

People on dialup can simply deactivate the display of other people's avatars in their profile settings if it slows them down too much.

With that said I don't think avatars would fit in with the THR derived culture of this board.

Avatars are fun.  Obviously its just like bad postings, or posting porn or spam: if you post dirty avatars you should get the boot.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this forum will be moving to a vBulletin format soon, so it will behave just like THR, which would be great.

vBulletin would be great for this forum. I think vBulletin is the best forum software you can get.

No avatars because I don't want them cluttering up the forum. The current technical solution may be a temporary one anyway.
