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.
Rag has a good idea with the size thing, or option not to view at all.

I'm better at viewing avatars to find what I want rather than reading names... Unlike Play Boy, which I read for the articles.

That's a very selfish view to take. If RHP hosts the avatars you don't have issues such as a site prompting password entering (possibly this could be used for phishing, surely some people would be silly enough to enter their RHP info into such a prompt) or the times people have hosted obscene or huge images.

And if you limit the filesize (to say 15kB) how much strain would it really put on the servers?

The avatar borders are elegant but I think most users would welcome a bigger size (worth a vote?)
Let's have borders for the flags next please so the flags with a lot of white in them will be clearer.

I had not noticed, they don't show up in the forums with that border using FireFox and the RHP GreaseMonkey Tools.

It does look nice.
