Icon
Is there any way to change our icon from that Scream mask lookalike?

Also, when you choose to use the default icon it selects the radio button and there is no way to unselect it.

haha, I thought it looked more like a blacked-out light bulb -- since I have no clue how to change it either Crazy

ummm ... but this goes into the issue of avatars... do you have to link to your own, are there pre-built versions or can you upload your own.

some people even mention smileys slow a board down imagine if you have to link to your off your own site ...eeekk Shocked

hmmm ...

openoffice + gimp + sketch ... Smile

That's temporary - we plan to have a selection of much better looking icons available soon. Stay tuned.

Jason, you mean Admin's can upload their own, not the users themselves right? (I hope you do Tongue)

It will be an admin option whether or not users can upload their own images.

Just my opinion but it is necessary to have user icons?

It seems the more the forum are cluttered with graphics the longer it takes for the pages to load.

I come to help and read messages, not to be entertained by the choice of graphics people choose to display and it does really slow up the process of moving through the forum threads.

Yes, I have noticed this as well; I think I may remove the icon from the posts, and only show it in the profile.

Could it not be a profile option as some of us on faster modems may not be affected so much or some may like to see avatars?

Depending on how the queries are written, it would still affect download times due to checking yet another user preference column in the user database.

It would be a matter of a few lines of code so I don't think we are talking a big difference here.
