    In response to one of the posts in the members-only forums, I've added more avatars (the small picture that is to the left of people's names - in my case, it is the UBC BGCPR logo).

    To add / change your avatar: My Settings (in the upper navigation bar) -> Edit Avatar (under Control Panel) -> Select an image and press Go.

    If anyone wants to help out and make more (and has access to an image-editing program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro) from the images that are posted by garden researchers / staff, let me know. It'd be great if there were ten times as many.

    Thanks to Marn, there are six new avatars available.

    (Guilty confession - Marn sent me these in May - but I _am_ going to get through my backlog of emails in the next few weeks)

    But please - don't allow animated gif avatars!

    Seen them on some other vBulletin forums, and they're a horrible nuisance and a real pain for people on dial-up

    Agreed - no animated avatars; these have been disabled ever since they could be disabled.

    Good choice! This should apply to smilies too if you ever reinstate them. (And no - I'm not asking for reinstatement.) Simple is good.

    Aye, it does. Post icons as well, which were used a long time ago.

    Thanks to lorax, the number of standard avatars has more than doubled -- 43 new ones.

    Cheers.
