Why do you need some other form of identification ?
As far as I can see, the only purpose an avatar would serve is to clutter up the page.
Yes, but some user's names are no more than a series of numbers or letters and not something that many will remember. The avatar is a nice visual way to help with easy recognition. In addition, it adds variety and is fun, which is why over a dozen message boards which I've visited in the past have them (including other airline forums).
Obviously, no one is required to use one if they don't want to. So I'm curious to know why they are not enabled here at PPRuNe? Unless perhaps its a space issue and there is not enough server space available to allow them.
I'd greatly appreciate a mod or admin chiming in on this subject.
Thanks
