So what? Your flags are nothing to me. I hadn't even noticed them. Why are you making such a freaking song and dance about it?

I'm not.

I wonder if it's possible to have the "sterile for work" view not include avatars?

I agree. It is always possible to turn off avatars in your control panel.

jimhelm · 10-17-2011, 02:20 PM

AND signatures, too.

infinite monkey · 10-17-2011, 02:22 PM

Sweet, hadn't thought of that:

From control panel:

You can show or hide various elements of messages, which may be good for users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts. We recommend you leave these settings where they are. The Cellar doesn't use Avatars anyway (we feel they make any forum look like crap).

Avatars. Alas, I was evil and hotlinked my horrific animated rooster picture, and it's no longer there...

DanaC · 10-17-2011, 05:30 PM

Holy fuck. Holy fucking fuck.

I had no clue. Not even the slightest suspicion.

Nice to know what became of Marichiko after all. I always wondered.

For the record, I liked Mari. Tried the email address I had when she'd gone.

*smiles*

Nice goin Sam. So happy my friend didn't vanish off into some awful hell never to return.

DanaC · 10-17-2011, 05:40 PM

Can't wait til the next time J asks me if there's anything goin on in the Cellar :p

I'll be all, like ' D'ye remember that Marichiko chick ....'

:p

I have been to other forums that use avatars and have found them to be annoying.
I for one will vote no avatars. I think that our signatures and profile pictures are enough. Go to my profile and see a very annoying avatar.

fwiw this forum software does not currently have support for banning of gifs or griffs.

DanaC · 10-17-2011, 06:39 PM

Howabout glyphs?

jimhelm · 10-17-2011, 06:45 PM

or spliffs?

Aliantha · 10-17-2011, 06:56 PM

I'm starting to think BD is someone's sock puppet. Or at least, someone we've met here before maybe? Does anyone else get that feeling?

Gosh this is so confusing.

I vote no to avatars. I don't think they help to recognise anyone. I'd only plop a pic of my head up if they were compulsory, and I really don't see that happening. I'd choose the no avatar format if both options were available.

Question for UT. If we had the avatar option, would that mean it'd cost more to run the cellar?

btw, I wonder if BD has discovered the tip jar yet.

No, I'm no one's sock puppet nor have I ever been here before. However, I do have to say that this is one of the most unwelcoming forums I have ever been on. No one has made me feel welcome with the exception of one or two members. Then I get a PM from someone here asking me to remove the flags in my signature because they are too distracting. Now I'm called someone's sock puppet or saying that I am a previous member that has been banned or left or whatever. I'm above games like that. I looked to see how many new members have recently joined here and there were quite a few, but only one in the past few months decided to stick around. Now I can see why.

Undertoad...please delete the pics I have posted in the 80's hair thread, the RFN thread and the pet thread. I have no desire to post here anymore.
