    Avatars? —Dean R. Hennen
   Hello to Lugnet Staff, I know that the mods for pictures in posts are probably sufficient enough for what I'm asking, but can you make an option to create customizable member avatars (profile pictures so to speak) like in the Brickfilms Forums (...)

     (...) Maybe. --Todd (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
    
         Re: Avatars? —William R. Ward
     (...) This might be OK, but I would suggest the following limitations: 1. No animated images, period. 2. All avatars must be a certain fixed size. It looks crappy when you are at a web-BBS where some avatars are 40x40 and others are 50x100 or (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

          Re: Avatars? —Tim Courtney
      (...) I think it would be better to have a system in place for avatars than to have people putting pictures in their sigs. Plus, then there could be a feature to turn off display of them. -Tim (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
    
         Re: Avatars? Todd Lehman
     (...) Not even if they were server-generated and server-stored and less than 3 KB file size and a selectable image viewing size and turn-off-able if you didn't want to see them?

     (...) depends on the ease of turn-off-able-ness One click or less, retained from session to session across whatever machine I am logged in on, and maybe.

      (...) The mess referred to is at posting composition time. the posting box may need to be changed to more closely wrap the line wrap??? (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
     
          Re: Avatars? Todd Lehman
      (...) Do you mean what's sent to the web browser via the <TEXTAREA> box? That's actually sent with WRAP=SOFT, which causes 80+ character lines to appear as if they're wrapped, but they're actually not wrapped. When the browser submits the form, the (...)

          Re: Avatars? —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) no, I think that's what I was referring to. I could do a screenshot to confirm we're talking about the same thing but ya I think you got it. (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
    
         Re: Avatars? Todd Lehman
      (...) What it it were (optionally) as simple as *zero* clicks -- automatically turned on or off based on subnet? That's how I think things like 'From:' line selection should default (for people who have two e-mail addresses that they post from). If (...)

          Re: Avatars? —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) Neat idea. not sure how well it would work for me though, AT&T (er, that is Comcast) doesn't assign fixed IP addresses. and I am on so many different connections in the course of the month (sometimes dozens, seriously) that it would be an (...)

     (...) Me too. In fact, avatars aren't even on my long list, much less my short list. We'd like to resurrect the minifig generator sometime with tons more graphic selections and perhaps avatars might be an interesting application of the images. (...)
