How about letting us forumers have our avatars displayed in our posts?

I know, you're concerned about bandwidth and taking away the focus on PD.

But you could limit it to say, people with a certain number of posts, file size etc.

Think of the benefits:

1) Stoking people's egos.

2) Making people feel a sense of ownership of their forum identity.

3) Build a strong forum identity with a cool pic.

4) Stoking egos.

5) Erm, it's fun!

How about it?

You can see profile pics when you see someone's profile.

Yea, mate, I know. I meant in the posts themselves.

So, what say you, mods?

Nice idea Alvin, I'm just not sure I could stand the sight of my face popping up unexpectedly all over the place [grimace!] The shock might be too great.

Do you think it would be ok if I used a better looking doppelganger instead? Lassie, for example...

I tend to get distracted by visuals, I think text-only threads are better.

nice profile picture, btw, alvin. you look like an asian movie star
