    "no avatar"?

    why??

    It sort of gets annoying..

    If we need to keep it for whatever reasons lets make it less bold and so it blends with the design..

    Makes a few people look the same....

    Personally i dont think people should be able to use the same avatar at all let alone a standard "No Avatar" one.....

    Re: "no avatar"?

    I don't like it either, though if the purpose is to encourage people to eventually get an avator rather then have none, it is sort of working as now I am thinking I will prefer to go find something to use rather then being 'no avator' as an avator.

    i thought it was initially a joke. You know, kind of ironic like "This page intentionally left blank."

    Re: "no avatar"?

    I agree that avatars should be unique without one being exactly the same. The default avatars in my opinion should be removed.

    hmmm... so the avatar is a placemark for people that have no avatar... This makes some sense as opposed to having nothing there. I'm receonsidering my previous statement.

    Re: "no avatar"?

    How about making the "no avatar" avatar grey, so it blends into the background. I find it distratcting... I've come to recognize people by their avatars... especially people with good, creative, and distinctive avatars like nametower, GD, hal, howard, gt web, classicnames, jberryhill, et al.

    I also use the avatars for a visual cue as to which posts I should bother reading.

    If I wanted an avatar ... I'd put one there. Don't force people to have something they don't want.

    Re: "no avatar"?

    It's actually kind of redundant. An avatar that says it's "no avatar". There IS an avatar, it's just not a custom avatar.

    I agree, sometimes I don't really even look at the name, I know who posted by the avatar at quick glance (or at least I thought I did).

    Re: "no avatar"?

    totally agree with AdoptableDomains

    the avatar is what i look for before the name... like lopramine45s penguin, i ignored everyone whith that one, then relaised its one of the free ones!!
    and not just his/hers/


    but on a serious note i thnk everyone should have sheds... but spinning at slighly different angles.

    I think those in the northern hemisphere should spin counterclockwise and those in the southern hemsiphere spin clockwise.

    Re: "no avatar"?

    Hmm, it's now getting annoying - especially when looking through a thread and several posters have it, makes you think that one member is saying something when he/she isn't. Like others I think the avatar is a personal "mark" and by it I identify others at first glance.
    My vote says get rid of it.

    hahah
    I thought it was sort of ironic when i see the "no avatar" avatar.
    The user has an avatar, but also no avatar.
    LoL!

    Agree with most of the above comments.

    I don't like having a "no avatar" avatar.
