About Planet Z adding Avatars to their posts

50k is nothing, some forums are awful! Signatures on http:://www.dogsonacid.com are so awful now, we provide the option to disable viewing signatures entirely in your profile options.

Ehehe Valis,
Signatures are what keep me away from DOA - most part of that forum seems to consist of signatures... It looks much like a contest with bad sense of humor

Haven't bothered registering there yet... Sometimes I think there's some interesting posts there, but I haven't got past the signatures yet to read enough of it to thoroughly see for myself. But then again, DOA is an example of a badly escalated signature contest...

Avatars, as on the adern forums, a 48x48 icon below member name on the left of each post, on the other hand, do not clutter the page with off-topic promo as these signatures.

Hey Nestor, don't understand me wrong, I like your signature a lot - it's rock&roll! But I'm afraid not everyone (maybe I underestimate the Z members;) is that creative... As your signature prooves, nothing needs to be changed on the planetz forum options to put a picture in one's signature here, just upload the picture to some webspace. Most ISP accounts include some sort of webspace that can well be used for that, and if yours doesn't, then ask a friend to host it...

at0m.

ps. Nestor, if you disable BBcode in your post, you don't need to use the dashes in

to put an example of BBcode in a post

If you look at Adern, you will see that it very well thought out site. The avatars are indeed out of the way as at0m stated but mainly what I like about that site is that it has dark text on a light background. That makes the Adern site much easier to read than this site is. Some of us are not so young and our eyes are not good. I can increase the text size but then I have to scroll a lot.

instead of avatars I would like to see everybody mentioning the country where one lives...
Ok, OT

Guys,

The new planetz forums (still working on it!) will support avatars, just like adern's.

The color scheme will be like the current planetz, however if you prefer you'll be able to select your own preference (generic black on white) in your profile.

-John
