Members can now have their own avatars of choice. But in order to preserve a consistent look, you need to email me the picture. I may slightly modify it for size and look. Use the forum email option to attach the file.


I tried to reply in the announcements board but it doesn't let me

I don't think that's a very convenient way to add custom avaters. Is it the only way you can offer ? (I don't think so )

Till now that board's setting was fixed for only moderators to post. But I will open it for all registered member right away.

About having your own avatar, it may not be a very convenient way, but I really do not want to mess up the look of the site. If anyone wants to have something special for him, he will have to go through some trouble. Or he can stick with the pre-configured ones.

Umm..quite disagree.

First, personally I think custom avatars are a very good idea as it gives a unique identity about different users. I understand your anxiety about this and I agree with it but in that case, if someone uses a really messy or unsuitable avatar then you can always remove/edit that or ask the user to change it. But for SOME users, you shouldn't make the whole process difficult. It simply doesn't make sense (atleast to me )

While you open the Announcements board to all registered users I think still there should be a place for only approved users. Perhaps you can create another board for that.

You think so? hmm...In that case I can let it run on a trial basis. If users do show reasonable taste in choosing their avatars they can upload it from the CPANEL.

About a private group, I will think about it. Seems like a good idea.
