Avatars?

[W1zzard]

Should this forum have avatars?

[Dark Ride]

I voted "Yes" !

[djbbenn]

I think only certain users should be allowed to get them if they are allowed. Where users are rewarded with them for being a good members/helpful, things like that.

[giorgos th.]

i`m in for avatars.

[jjcom]

Avatars sound good to me, 180x180 or 120x120 with like a 12.5kb limit would be my suggestion on sizes

yes i agree with this and the statement below about a cap


i have dsl so it doesnt affect me whatsoever but for ppl with dial up it would SUCK!!! so im stickin out for them tto :)

[jjcom]

For dial up, it really isn't that bad. I've got dial up and avatars generally don't slow me down much, just as long as the size is kept resonible.

[G.T]

Minimum post count required, size restrictions and no gaudy gifs that flash and bling and give people seizures, then hell yeah!

[BIOHazard87]

for sure :)

I AGREE , puts more flavour to it !

[Migons]

Yes, but as most have stated before, there should some restrictions regarding them. At least size limit (resolution and file size) and some user limitation (post number, groups?).

PS. And no ANIMATED GIFs! Or is it possible to parse them off with vBulletin?

[spectre440]

avatars?
hell yes!

just not too big an no annoying animated GIF's....

[Dark Ride]

Nice to see so many votes for "Yes".

I came up with the idea of having avatars on the TPU forum but W1zzard didn't believe me that the people want avatars so he made this poll and as you can see, most people said "Yes" to the avatar question.

I'm a dial-up user myself and it wouldn't effect me much I can say.

I'm also for the limited avatars.I'd say 80x80 pixels and a 15kb size limit or 100x100 pixels with a 20kb size limit.And allowing only JPG and PNG pictures to avoid the flashy GIF animations.

Also, I'm against the idea of allowing people with high post count to have avatars (or biggers avatars) and the ones with lower post counts not to have avatars (or smaller avatars).

[Ink]

i think it should.

:rockout:

[Anarion]

A BIIIIIIG very BIG ; NOOOOOOOO, nope , nien , na, nah ,

[zAAm]

I agree with most of you, avatars would be good as long as they're not animated and kept small... But NEVER include picture sigs please! They make the whole page look crap and it's difficult to read the posts in between all the sigs... ;)

[W1zzard]

there you have your avatars .. 120x120, no animation, 20k limit

[spectre440]

rock on, man!

:rockout:

[Dark Ride]

there you have your avatars .. 120x120, no animation, 20k limit
Dark Ride: 1 - W1zzard: 0 :nutkick:

Thanks for the avatars.

[drade]

Thatd be cool to have avatars on a site like this, you know people like logo's, anime heads, OWNED pictures, ect. Yeesss :roll:

[Polaris573]

Ummm... we do have avatars.

Off Topic:

How many Posts do I need before my Sig image shows up?

[DaMulta]

I want animation Hehehe

[zekrahminator]

You need to put in the (sigpic) and (/sigpic) tags wherever you want the sigpic in your sig, except with [] where I put ().

Thanks I got it ;)

I found out that I had to push the insert button to apply the Sig. :laugh:

[Protius]

fine with pics but animations makes me lose concentration to easily

[TLH]

So if everyones allowed to upload an avatar...which I have...why can't I see any?

[Solaris17]

Go into your user cp got to edit options and the option to be able to see them is in their. just cvheck the box and hit ok

[Sasqui]

I want animation Hehehe

I second that...

Cheers.I thought that would have been enabled by default myself.

[THRASHER2]

Big Thanks :rockout:

Why not, expression is one of the best ways to experience diversity. Limiting size or content is ok and it is to be expected.
But unless you want to be compared to governmental scrutiny, and reward those who you choose to and remove privileges already experienced by many, well expect this to create a negative experience in a forum that I found to be refreshing, informative, that has a lot of variety and opinions and that most are respectful and informative.
So why limit something that is good and fair for all. Change isn't always good.

WTH?? this thread has been dead for 7 month's:eek::shadedshu:wtf:

Can you say8836 thread?:slap:

[HAL7000]

Well, a forum should bury dead threads then, if they are still listed....WTH....a post is the last thought it created.

So can you say........Jethro Bodine.....

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[Urlyin]

The lights are on .. but no one's home ;)

Understood, but it brought in two more replies.....and it was painless.....:toast:

Lol :banghead: I appreciate your logic but try looking at you avatar and the date the last post was created ? Apparently the issue was resolved month's ago.:wtf:

I still say you created a 8837 thread :nutkick:

[MrSeanKon]

Although the poll if closed I would vote yes.
A forum without avatars is a dead forum. :cool:
That's why I created this PcPer poll (http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=437826)

[Polaris573]

We have had avatars for about two years now. We have no intention of getting rid of them...

[freaksavior]

i think some of the avatars are a little offensive from time to time

[HAL7000]

Sounds good to me, but I do agree that some are a bit on the wild side and beyond, but expression is a liberty that we all must accept and live with.
So overall I am in agreement with you Polaris573

[DanTheBanjoman]

Do we really need to reopen a 2 year old discussion? If you don't like avatars just disable them.

[aximbigfan]

Yes.

Avs help me to figure out who posts what when I am scrolling fast.
