| 305549 | 2004-12-20 03:10:00 | I wouldn't mind them as long as I didn't see them. I'm not a picture guy anyways. But I like Chill's idea of having them off as default and for the guys who want it -enable it. ... as for the 56kers and Stu, probably not a good idea ;) (slow? eating too much broadband?) |

| 305551 | 2004-12-20 03:34:00 | I fail to see how it could effect you in anyway, Or why you would want to inflict your prefences on anybody else? Your quite welcome to keep your view of the forum on the vanilla settings. Its like complaining about what someone somewhere else is watching on television. Quite bizarre. |

| 305553 | 2004-12-20 05:58:00 | we didn't enable avatars as it just adds extra stuff to download, and we know how you guys dislike all those little extras (i.e. the ads)... ;) we might review allowing avatars in the future, but for the time being they're turned off. |

| 305555 | 2004-12-20 06:21:00 | I actually quite like the simplicity - It makes PressF1 stand out that little bit more than all the other 'average' forums that are out there on the Web :-) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 305556 | 2004-12-20 06:26:00 | Ta for the explanation Mary. Thought you people had shut down for Chrissy, did you draw the short straw? So, if you turn off the ability to see avatar's you don't need to download them but, they're still taking up space and resources on the server are they not, does it amount to anything significant? If there was a choice, would there be something else that would put that space to better use. Personally I don't want an avatar or to see one. If I can turn a previous analogy slightly, it could be viewed as having to fit sound proofing and blackout curtains because the neighbours TV is so intrusive, in fact the louder the better is their moto :yuck: However, If they take up minimal space and resources including maintenance, I have no real objection to those that like to play, playing with them. |

| 305557 | 2004-12-20 06:27:00 | Yes, and it can quickly get very cluttered allowing avatars, and all the features in sigs!!! | Mary (6534) | ||
| 305558 | 2004-12-20 06:50:00 | surely it would only get cluttered if it's already overloaded with features? :2cents: | Edward (31) | ||
