Photo Avatars
« on: February 04, 2006, 10:03:46 AM »
I am part of another forum where most people use a photo of themselves as an Avatar alongside their posts. Really good to see who you are talking too.

I wanted to float the idea here, I think it would be great. Place your vote and we shall see what happens. Of course it will always be your choice if you do or don't. Anonymity is always respected but some may want to be out there.

Cheers

Ah, good idea, but I am a little shy about photos of me :-)

People Could Use It Now, However I Think Anonymity Is The Key Here Being That The Forums Are Open To The Media & Public, Last Thing You Want Is To Be Quoted On Something In The Press.
