Yeah, Alcapone your right it's a lounge question silly me...


And Silky i don't think avatars would slow the forum down at all
a 50x50 pixel image is not gonna bring the house down
and most members woudn't use this option


So come on, mister moderator let us have our avatars

The Ape, avatar is a little picture that [supposely] represents ya. You can see them used usually right by the name, and you get to pick one image to go with your posts (kinda like signature)

I agree that it would be nice for the members to be able to have avatars.

I'll bring it up in the next company meeting.
