Custom Avatars

Can RIB.net allow custom avatars to be displayed under your username whenever you post?

I know it is a feature incorporated in vBulletin.

It would brighten things up somewhat.

JK wasn't keen the last time we asked because the server space it would take up and add nothing to the posts. However you could ask him for green blobs (worthy of a search on Ribnet for the full story as world wars have been started over lesser arguments)

It's a quesion that comes up from time to time, but it's not something that I plan to add any time soon. Server space isn't a problem, but I have still to be convinced that they add anything other than a bit of pointless fluff.

I think that most people are happy with things as they are, but as ever I'm open to persuasion!

No I ain't

I like Avatars why don't we have a poll. I have always been fond of pointless bit's of fluff......just as long as they weren't looking for a long term relationship.

Anybody that cares to look on the Boatmad site can see how charming and entertaing they can be. I love my Boatmad Avatar it makes me happy evry time I see it.

It's a picture of Johnny Fuller when he was in college

What me worry!
