New! Avatar (user profile image) choices

Options
Hi everyone

As part of the Forum redesign we've given some choices of image for your avatar (the graphic/image you choose to show when you post on the forum).

If you take a look at your avatar settings you should be able to see them.

Let us know below if you try them and have any problems changing them.

Andrea :)

    "Pick one of ours" was a really bad idea.

    I'd prefer members to be without an avatar than to resort to this option.

    Of all the things that need doing on the forum redesign, this has to be the stupidist idea going :(

    What happened to all the suggestions that were put forward on the thread asking for suggestions?
    I sure as hell don't remember seeing any mention of this dumb idea :mad:

    I'm with Torbrex on this - avatars have never been an issue on MSE, and it was a waste of someone's time making this change.

    I hope we have the choice to keep the avatar we currently have. I've looked at the selection you suggest and don't want to change thanks.;)

    Only 11 posts in and we have 2 people with the same Avatar.

    I usually recognise people by their Avatar, not their username so I'm going to have problems!
