Do you wish avatar in PlanetZ?

Sorry for this frivolous poll, but I prefer to see in face with whom I am speaking...

...professional deformation...

ps. I don't think that this feature involves a big waste of space web, John.

But we make to speak this democratic poll

I voted no, because I find many avatars to be useless pictures of cartoons and the likes. Often it is just litter in the left side of the screen. I would not like litter on PlanetZ.

you don't really expect to see real pictures all over the place, do you?
I somehow like the idea of those avatars, but mine would look different from what you might think

just for the fun of it I would say yes.

ps. I don't think that this feature involves a big waste of space web, John.

it would, nevertheless, incorporate higher traffic on every page load, especially if the discussion involves more than 2 people and, thus, more than 2 avatars.
john should tell if that would mean a significant impact on his wallet.
if so, I have to say no.

But we make to speak this democratic poll

yay, why not?

as a conclusion I for one tend to be undecided with a slight spin towards no.

I agree 100%, but also believe that this feature should be tied to those members who make a small donation, those who disagree should have the option of remaining anonymous.

In that way we wouldn't lose particiaption of members who might jeopardise their jobs or stature in their communities due to certain political positions they might agree with here in the Off Topic Threads.

Myself, personally.......I have nothing to hide as I am my own boss, and King Of All I Survey.

My true personality and addictions can be publicly displayed in hopes of a cure for my diseases..........GAS, 3PDS, and more recently, ILS.

I have been weight training in my garage and kicking my 30 year old Everlast 150lb. bag. My firends say I am holding my arms out when I walk like an old gun-slinger. This comes from the sore unused Latissimus Dorsi muscles, hence the new disease is called the " Imaginary Lat Syndrome ". Gear Acquisition Syndrome, and 3ed Party Developers Syndrome have stricken many members here also.

Ankyu.......No, Don't Get Up, Please.

yes for still pictures,

NO for animated gifs! those can be extremely annoying!

I don't think it would require much webspace, nor wallet-impact.
I don't particularly think donation should be required.

I'll look into it.

Ok, I've enabled avatars. We'll try it for awhile and decide if we like it or not.

Other people gotta go update their profiles to upload or link to avatars, cuz I don't wanna be the only one with my picture here

...er, how do you add an avatar?

[edit]Found it.[/edit]

John Cooper · Post by **John Cooper** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 11:12 am

After logging in, go the the User Control Panel (see top right link on page).
Click on Profile (in left-side options menu)
Then click on "Edit Avatar"

Upload a pic or link to one. Max filesize for uploads is small (10K) . And avatar max size is 80x80.

John, Widy, Me$$iah, Mr Arkadin... nice to meet you

ps. thanks a lot John, now it's more easy to recognize the people inside the treads.

Likewise Amigos.

Since I am a live kind of guy, a live kind of pic !! With a 9 piece Horn Section. The good old days.

CS80, Rhodes, Oberheims, B3 & Leslie, Moog Lab Series, Hohner D6, and ARP String Ensemble.

If I had Scope back then, I could have been a contender.

Glad to see, that so many people actually post pictures which lets the rest of us see, who they are.
