It would be nice if we could get the old Fusetalk Avy's , these new ones really suck. I'd rather be able to submit/use my own then these lame ones.

My two cents.

I was going to come to this forum to complain about avatars, but I see you have already beaten me to it.

22 pages of avatars and 18 of them are worthless. The rest are meh at best.

I say just enable custom avatars... just disable uploads if bandwidth/disk space is an issue. As for controlling what is appropriate just moderate it the same way anything else would be... same with sigs, enable image sigs but just restrict how high they can be so people don't go overboard, and discipline if needed.

FeuerFrei would like to register his displeasure as well.

If only there was some sort of poll, or polle, or pohl, or pulle, or powl to vote in.

Hey guys -- these are really temporary avatars. We will add more later.

We will have some of the ft ones, but they own most of them so... There is that.

We *may* allow custom uploads in the future, but that's a yet to be decided policy issue and we are absolutely waiting until we are out of the woods with the transition before we do that.

That's good to hear, kinda like what I was suspecting to be going on anyway. I sure hope to see custom uploads, EVERY other forum I visit allows this.

I noticed you were soliciting avatar suggestions. So I decided to go through the avatars I know have been on FuseTalk and try to find public domain equivalents, mainly on WikiMedia/Wikipedia. So here are the ones I found. Some may need cropping.

Those are pretty good. I think animals are definitely what is (was? you've got a mouse) missing. Some fuzzy.

For further encouragement, I decided to turn some of the pics into 75x75px icons:


(from here)








I have 5 more, but I'm limited to 10 images per post; these are the best. Edit: Kicked out the second cow for the much-requested US flag.

Egad...does that make us...furries?! (I'd add a smilie to indicate I'm being silly; but, again, 10 images.)

honestly I'd rather just see a remake of FT avatars that look updated like YYWDJ's avatar. I'm sure it own't be violating anything if you design it from scratch, right?

I would just like to have a choice of the old avatars. I liked the faces
