    Nope, not now. Perhaps it was available at once time, I think I remember it being discussed. There may be plans to bring it back, I suggested it to DeVore a while ago...

    $ :)

    Custom Avatars would be cool. Although there ain't anythin wrong with this lovely Knuckles either.

    Custom avatars are a nightmare from an administration point of few, your going to get porn, offencive material, large files sizes, gifs

    Whats wrong with the ones we have, theres like over 1000

    It would just as easy to post porn in any thread- thats why theres mods- if its offensive then you'll have to get rid of it!

    The stipulation for a custom avatar would that it would have to be w/in the parametres of the current ones in terms of px size and file size- Thats fairly straight forward:)

    I dont think we've ever had custom avatars.... hmmm...

    I would be up for it if it was supported nicely... I mean I'm concerned by porn etc but it is as easy to post porn in a thread as was commented on above.

    I'd be more concerned about filesize tbh... dont want someones
    Photoshop work of art being half a meg in size...

    Other then that I wouldnt object. I'll have a word with cloud about it... he is the oracle of all such things...

    We did have custom avatars but Cloud slapped us all for messing.

    While this is being discussed, any chance of Sig Images?
    id much prefer that to custom avatars.

    i think one of the reasons avatars were added was to get rid of sig images.

    [edit]but then what do i know?[/edit]

    To put an image in your dig do you just do the [img][/img] thing?
