Could avatars be "unique"?
« on: December 13, 2011, 11:39:17 AM »
I notice that a few new members have picked the same avatar as other people. That is confusing when you are used to expecting a particular response, to find that it was newbie commenting. When avatars are in use, I tend to look at them instead of reading the name. Is it possible to delete an avatar once someone has picked it?

I just removed the ability to select from the pre-fab avatars. Members must now upload their own or select one from a URL. That should really cut down on the number of duplicated Avatars.

But where do we add an avatar? I can't find the place to add it.

In your forum profile but I don't think you can add an avatar until you at least 5 posts.
