Yeah, sigs can get quite annoying as is. I can't believe
some of the items I've encountered on other forums, in
dealing with long signatures and animated images.(takes
time loading, etc.) What I specifically referenced to
was simply a mini icon next to the post information,
which would show a small image, (user defined) that's
about it. Maybe I was a bit misleading when I said 'avatars' ^^
