Default What do you think of the "Avatar" feature?

I've been playing around with them, however, the requirements are so small for the pic size that I don't know if there is any value. I also wonder about site speed for those without a high speed connection. The speed is fine for me with a DSL line, however, I wonder if everyone used these avatars whether it would make things even slower for those on a modem.

It looks like each member can choose to not show avatars - found this under the profile options.

I like the avatars. I'm ditchin' my sig pic in favor of it. That way I don't have to worry about unchecking the Show Signature box every other post.

I really like the avatar thing. Seems everyone ditched their sig pics in favor of it. It makes the threads easier to read without having to jump over the pics.
