Allow users custom avatars

mimmo — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:53:51 GMT

This came out of a discussion with @LEGO @RobertQc @will13am

I think pm should allow users to have custom avatars. If they are worried about the images then allow them after users have reached a certain level (posts or Bravo's etc)

Noted! Others who are passionate about this suggestion, please come on board. No guarantees that this change will happen. This will at least improve the chances for change.

I’ve been on this bandwagon for a while now, but I really like my steaming cup of coffee too!

I like my bike, but it would also be easier to recognize posters faster with different avatar!

I understand people want this but this is a forum used for customer service not a chat forum or anything like that. This will be an impulseun post but I don't see the need for it

@ShawnC13 I agree to disagree. PM have called this a community and seem to want to foster a sense of community (within reason). I can't see how it would hurt.

@mimmo I support the idea. I can't see any harm to it.

I'm happy with my celestial-themed avatar for now, but I still support the idea of allowing members to customize.

A minor, beneficial side-effect of unique avatars is quick identification of authorship/presence in any particular topic. It becomes easier to pick out someone's posts quickly if you're scrolling through a long thread. Also, if too many members chose cffee cups (for example) or had a pastel-orange avatar, that would look a bit monotonous. If you look at the avatar choices, you'll notice a preponderance of the colours blue and orange. (Yeah...PM's colour theme, I get it.) Simply adding a greater variety of colours via avatar customization would do wonders for the general appeal of the forum.
