However I guess the reason we haven't got it is because it makes things harder for n00bs and 56k'ers...

I'm on 56k and for me this forum loads a helluva lot faster than the javascript jive one... :D

So could we get avatars at least? Avatars are those little pictures under your name right?

305540 2004-12-19 09:13:00 I'm puzzled?....what does bloating the forum with images have to do with n00bs? Metla (12)
305541 2004-12-19 09:56:00 Avatars would be nice. The two carrot people can disable them if they wish.

Image sigs are bloatware, avatars are basically 64x64 jpg/gif files that take up a few kB at most.

Hamstar why do you spell 'rise' as "reise" in your sig?

305543 2004-12-19 11:54:00 I like the idea of Avatars, but having them turned off by default so that people who dont want them dont have to worry.

I would personally enable them.
Of course they too would then need moderation......

I thought it was a play on ReiserFS (www.google.co.nz) ;)

Well on the bright side, you can't really hide it if your avatar is naughty.

Sorry, but reise means "journey" or "traveller". A bit confusing in your context.

305547 2004-12-20 02:37:00 More bloat. Farmers use expensive drench to prevent their stock from getting it.

Why can't we be a bloat-free zone?

305548 2004-12-20 02:48:00 They can be disabled if you don't like them. Win-win situation. Why should the rest of the forum conform to your wants when you can fix it yourself with a checkbox?

Avatars add some personality and character to your forum identity.
