Want.

I am a visual person. I respond to avatars and lack of avatars slows down my reading since I have to read the poster's name before each post.

So, yeah.

Want.

With regards to the mentioned problem of illegal content in avatars a little admin work could remove them and, if necessary, remove avatar privileges.

If we decide to go the externally hosted route, I found a gravatar mod for vbulletin. I think it allows for both locally hosted and externally hosted avatars, though. I'm not sure if it's possible to restrict avatars to only-gravatar, but it might be.

I've never been clear on why we refuse to host any images (I understand not having the 'upload image' in thread option, but not wrt avatars.)

And yes: choice. So, yes please :)

re refusing to host images ... I understood the concern is mainly to do with the possibility of inadvertantly hosting illegal (and/or unethical?) material?

^ OK that makes sense.. but aren't we then better off hosting avatars, so that we can remove any illegal ones (and I wonder how often that happens anyway) ?

^ good points. Maybe we are being a little edgy about hosted images. If the problem becomes apparent we have the back up plan to solve it.

I've turned avatars on. The size limit is 140 x 140. Vbulletin will automatically resize a larger image when you save your avatar.

mind you, when i resized to 140x140 it also told me i failed even though it worked that way

I tried it, too. But I think the deal breaker is the file size, if that is too big, it's not going to resize for you
oblivion

yeah, there is a file size limit. I'll bump that up a bit.

Railroad tracks in the sky page 1

Mysturji 8th February 2012, 07:01 PM When I was a little kid, I used to like to imagine that high-flying jets leaving vapour trails behind them were laying railroad tracks in the sky, and that behind every such plane was a sky-train. Now, decades later, I still think that is a remarkably poetic image to spring from the mind of a little boy. In the interest of balance however, I should admit that I also liked to imagine - when taking a piss - that any remnant of toilet paper (or anything else) in the toilet was an enemy marine base, and that my penis was an enormously powerful space-based orbital laser with orders to destroy the base. What childhood imaginings do you remember? divagreen 8th February 2012, 07:08 PM I used to pretend my crayons were people and had whole cities made out of cardboard boxes and wore paper clothes. They even had a solid disco gold show and price is right games and a geneology chart. Pretty sure my parents thought that I was dumb and that I just did not kn...

Jerome 3rd February 2012, 01:17 AM Feed Students Semen = Collect Full $4,000/mth Pension (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/mark-berndt-lausd-responds-to-teacher_n_1247138.html) Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Superintendent John Deasy confirmed with Fox 11 News (http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/news/local/lausd-reacts-to-teachers-arrest-20120131) that he has seen some of the more than 400 photos of teacher Mark Berndt allegedly spoonfeeding his semen (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/excalif-teacher-in-court-_n_1246675.html?1328110095&ref=los-angeles) to blindfolded and gagged students, some with cockroaches on their faces. As the Los Angeles Times reports (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/la-teacher-suspected-of-lewd-conduct-keeps-benefits.html), Berndt will receive $4,000 a month in pension for life from the California State Teachers' Retirement System as well as lifetime health benefits from the district.
