Originally posted by RagnorakOh, I quite like the borders - it makes the avatars look classy. Besides, the extension already has an update and so all is right again. 🙂
Now that we want the option to have bigger avatars, along comes a border which makes the actual avatar smaller, and breaks Ouroboros' script.

I still want the option to turn OFF avatar viewing, completely.
There is a way to freeze all avatars... so you are not bothered by flashing avatars or unsavory characters on guitar.
With Firefox there is a way to click an image and it gets blocked for good. You could even block the sites those jerks who make a new avatar every 5 days use... photobucket, google... others. 😉

It's the way to go. Let users set it up as to their personal preferences/internet speed.

And whats the difference between reducing them to a name or name+avatar. I find the avatars distracting and pointless. If I could reduce you all to just a name, or less even. I would happily do so.

I don't understand why we don't have avatars hosted on RHP itself which means that size and dimension limits can be put in place (no more people uploading 500kB gifs).

Because the strain (hosting all images and distributing them with each forum page view, legal issues) will be on RHP, not on the shoulders of those want it anyway.
