I've heard lots of complaints about the new avatar system that's been on for the last 2 months and I too have some complaints about it. We should have a vote open to only subscribers and vote for the following options:
1. Go back to the original image system
2. Keep the current image system
The votes should only be open for 2 months so that we can do this fast, unlike the other votes that take forever to end. 😞
Any questions, PM me or post a message here. I'll check back here tomorrow morning.

4. Keep the current system, but make the avatars bigger (e.g. 100x100).
5. Use whatever system, but prohibit epilepsy-inducing animated avatars
6. Keep the current system, but allow me to mess with ATY's avatar

Originally posted by Dutch DefenseSorry, but the avatar system is not changing back - as mentioned elsewhere, allowing people to link to images created some really undesirable problems. My only regret is I didn't change it years ago.

Originally posted by RussCouldn't you just add an option that allowed users to disable avatars? If they are on low bandwidth connections, this would not only make the page load faster because of the lack of images, it would make the HTML code smaller to download also. I think people, as a general rule, liked the fact you could have big pictures in a small frame. Some people found some cool pics, on a broadband connection the pages loaded fine (in my experience...)
