Hello everyone,

The first thing I was curious about here at the forums, was if we could add an avatar; this isn’t possible (yet?). For the ones that do not know what a forum avatar is: it’s an image uploaded by a player that is displayed at every post in the forums (usually displayed at the top-left); you can compare it to a signature, but then as an image displayed on-top or below a player’s display name.

So, I suggest the addition of the forum avatar. I believe that I speak on behalf of most players if I say that this feature would make the forums complete, without doubt.

- What do you think?

I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

I’m guessing it’s the same reason there are no image signatures.

So that mods don’t have to police the images.

SoE have finally been knocked off the top spot
in the list of developers I have the least faith & trust in.
Congratulations ArenaNet!

You have a good point there. But, do you not think that this should be possible in some manner?

I think both forum sigs and avatars should allow images.

Sadly though, it’s not my call.

There have been many threads about images on the forum, ANet have stood by their decision in every one. I don’t expect it to change.

Hi everyone.

Thanks for asking. As my colleague Regina Buenaobra has stated here, we decided not to include pictures and signatures because of the potential abuse some users can make of them.

Thank you for your understanding.
