I turn all that off, if it is an option. All the sigs, gifs and PC stats just take up screen space, and to be honest, some of them make me think less of the poster. To contine the clothes metaphor, some sigs make me notice the guy has pissed his suit. Lol, just remembered I've used on in the past.

No idea about the technical effort and problems avatars might cause, but if I ever missed ONE avatar here definitely, it is yours, Widow. I didn't know who that was, when I first saw the photo. And I still remember how I first met you in the other place. You had sent a good rant, we exchanged some posts, and you ended it all with that famous "Woof, woof!" Only later I saw that TV series, and Lord Flashheart's impersonation of a narcistic WW1 ace, but by then he had already become you.

. Yuppers I agree, an avatar and a sig block photo and a download section for WOFF files would all be excellent things to have in a forum and ... oh wait ... we already have all those things, just not here.  psssst, hey buddy, check this out ... CA WOFF Forums .

Jim, that strikes me a little like saying if you already have a bathroom in your house in town why do you want one in your cottage at the lake. It would be pleasant to have the same niceties at both I think, but then maybe that's just me. Don't get me wrong, I could use the outhouse, (and have), it's just that indoor plumbing is so much better.

I go to both foræ(!) every day and post PM's there and here. I have no idea why we switched to this place. I like CombatAce. AFAIK this is the only forum in the world that doesn't allow avatars.

Wow! I don't seem to have that letter on my keyboard, that's why I always write (wrongly): "forums". But then Latin is dead anyway.

. AND...you dont have to worry about the unseen spider or mosquitoes Seriously..all things in one place says efficiency to me, but maybe I'm just anal about these kinds of things.

Wow! I don't seem to have that letter on my keyboard, that's why I always write (wrongly): "forums". But then Latin is dead anyway. I only use foræ to annoy those who did Latin at skool  There is a useful piece of free tiny software called 'Allchars'. Download it here: http://allchars.zwolnet.com/It means that it is easy to get my wife's name right which is Béatrice and even old Hermann gets his surname as Göring and not Goering which is acceptable but not correct. It also means I can write 1½ Strutter!
