Hello, I was browsing some other forums on the
net, and I noticed one of the features that
sets Lugnet apart from these forums, is a lack
of an avatar (or icon) that accompanies each post.

Some forums like animeboards.com and bzcomunity.com
have these, and I was wondering If anyone else
had thought of this concept for lugnet, and if
it would be possible, (given that Todd would be
up to this.)

What do you think? I believe this would be a cool
new feature to lugnet, and give the posting forums
a fresher look.

Any ideas? Comments?


I'm sure the idea is possible (as the Lego and lugnet admin posters get
their own little icon already), but i personally really like the clean,
simple look of the current interface.  A bunch of avatars and icons would
just serve to clutter it up.

Reading through some other forums out there (I get some interesting links
from some interesting bulletin boards to brickfrenzy) I can honestly say
that Lugnet is one of the simplest, easiest, and best ways to navigate for
information and posts.  The overflow of animated sigs, icons, avatars, and
other crap on other sites is a remarkable eyesore.


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' ^^
