Avatars - Why Not Use Them!!!!, by Harveyn on Jun 8, 2017 15:49:02 GMT 1, Tend not to moan about to many things on here or in life but this has been a pet hate of mine for years.
Why can people not be bothered to load up an image as their Avatar instead of 100+ members having the same stock image.
I personally tend to recognise people by their avatar image more so than the name they use. When there is a run of one or two people being confrontational, aggressive etc who have the stock image avatar I tend to switch off reading posts by people with that avatar whether it was them or not. "Tarred with the same brush"

Avatars - Why Not Use Them!!!!, by WOOF on Jun 8, 2017 17:29:57 GMT 1, I use ublock origin to block the specific image used for people who don't have avatars. It doesn't help to remember people, but it helps to clean up the look of the forum. Now if only I could find an extension that lets me change this ugly purple font back to black like a normal website...

Avatars - Why Not Use Them!!!!, by avec art on Jun 8, 2017 18:30:02 GMT 1, I have an idea! For those out there who are a little lazy or don't feel too creative, I will offer to make an avatar for them. I will happily use whatever theme or subject inspires you, or use your name as a touchstone. This FREE offer will last for as long as I can be bothered to do it ... hit me.

Chrome used to allow user stylesheets, but the functionality was removed a while back. You can use this extension to get the functionality back - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en

You have to go into your profile but I think it only works in desktop view and is not possible in mobile view.
To switch, scroll down to the very bottom of the screen and switch between the two views.

Good question Harveyn!! I find this thread very amusing. I made the same comment about the stock avatar and I was immediately banned from this forum. Hence the new account. I've seen far worse comments on here from racisms, sexist, bullying, etc.
It just shows how this place is run and which people are allowed to speak their mind and get a free pass. And when others question what isn't the norm they get banned.

Thank you Schrödinger's Chat and sorry gangstanola I did not get to you first.
Does it not feel better to have a face .....
Silky maybe you could make this compulsory when people join?

Not sure why you would be banned for that but welcome back anyway. Now join in the fun and get that Avatar changed. You could always be ironic and changes yours to the previous stock image (whatever that was).

Not sure why either, there's only one person here that can do. Why not ask him? Old stock image is funny, but are you trying to get me banned again?
