Title: Why doesn't this forum have avatars or profile pics?
Post by: Amandistan on September 18, 2014, 06:53:24 AM
I have been in many online forums such as this and they all allow profile pics that can be seen whenever a member posts.   

I  was wondering why this forum does not  have that?

It would be cool to see what people pick as a profile pic.
I don't know anything about forum software but i guess it could prevent the profile pic option.

Either way it's still the coolest forum and beats  FB fan forums by a mile.   :)

it can be restricted

and i think the risk can be that people use it to display something offensive which wouldn't be in keeping with the family way more or less


i know my avatar was fairly middle of the road so its not my fault.....

i think i'm a gonna have to go anonymous for a while, look under suspect device

I think that it is a fair response.  I'm active on a whole bunch of Internet forums and the amount of spambots that post utter bullshit is SO annoying and possibly damaging to your computer if you accidentally click on a bad link...

If you want to see what my avatar / personal picture would look like, think of an incredibly handsome man who is cool as ****...   ::)

Hey, I'm not arrogant or vain!  I often talk to people who aren't nearly as good as me!

(... runs for cover...)

Hard to go incognito when you tell everyone who you are.  :)
But on the plus side, Heno is pretty inconspicuous too.
