Im going to take the thread here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=3516&highlight=profile+picture And make it a little more organized, sorry bout that James (superbad). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all know that TA has an awesome forum. We all hang out and love the forum for how addicting and easy it is to talk about our favorite thing, the iDevice. We have an awesome selection of boards, cool people, and just all around nice set up. ONE major thing is missing. I love the fact that our accounts all have profiles. Makes TA forums be a sort of Facebook/Myspace for iDevice Gamers. The Profile Pages are really nice, well organized and just look cool and fun to look at. They are welcoming, if you will. The ONE thing missing is Avatars. I hate have to look at my nice profile look to the right to look at my friends or somebody elses friends and just seeing a Box with a giant "?" inside of it. It bothers me because it hit my feeling of cleanliness in the profile pages. It just makes it feel like somethings missing and the page is incomplete. There are two solutions to this problem. 1. Just activate avatars and let the site be complete. 2. Add a premium account method. Maybe like $5/year that gives us premium status, avatars, and maybe a few other ups. Would bring more money to the site than its already making and, would give ur avvys!!! So now, Please, give us avatars one way or another. Phil.
And the thread just went downhill. But really, I do like the idea of avatars, but I also love the clean look of the forums without them, I'd tend to vote no for Avatars, or at least have the option to disable seeing them.
But I do think the same way as you. Avatars would be nice, but I want an option to disable seeing them.
i vote for avatars too if you don't like one don't get one. but i mean, people can express themselves in their sigs too. but putting a picture of yourself might be a bit creepy....
A previous thread sort of explained the reason why no avatars are allowed... http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=7688 The gist is two fold: extra memory on the servers and additional moderation on avatars.
It would be cool if the avatars were preset then, jsut have a library of App Images you can choose from. Like your favortie App Icon
Haha, no, I meant the App icon thing. We'll have to see what Arn says about that, we'd at least be able to identify Pocket God people then.
Maybe, along with the idea of App Icons, a seperate icon each for Jr. Member, Member, Sr. Member, Moderator, Administrator, Guest, In Time-Out, and Banned?
I really like the app icon idea...and as Hodapp alluded to, approximately half of all users would choose the Pocket God icon...
Yes, exactly! Would there be any copyright issues with using individual app icons? Like with big-time developers/publishers like EA or Gameloft?
