What happened to my avatar?
I used to have a nice, shiny Dean avatar, which is there no more. I notice that no one else has one either.

How can I expect to have my threads flamed if people don't know which candidate I support?

2. But... but...
Now I have to come out and say I support Dean in EVERY POST if I expect people to call me a cult member. What fun is that?

5. hell if I know
Way I look at things, fighting may be lowered because of sans avatars. :shrug: So I hope.

4. Avatars were getting to be the DU equivalent of gang colors
with the associated warfare.

16. How come they aren't working from our preferences ?
Is there a glitch or was this done on purpose? :(

13. Due to Rush and the freepers
The servers are working overtime from all the rabid right winger visitors. Avatars were turned off to give the servers a break and will be turned back on as soon as the new Rush lurkers give up and go away.

14. I like it this way.
Without pictures of people's pets, favorite sports stars/teams, crushes, etc. that take-up most of the screen with every post.
The wheel of my mouse is wearing out scrolling past all the crap that doesn't mean a thing to anyone else.

Plus the dialup people get discouraged with DU waiting for the page to load because of all the sig line graphics. I know, I have to use dialup avery now and again when I am not home.

18. oh i agree
i think the small board avatars are fine, but the sig line overload stuff has really got to go.

I am on a dial-up
and turned off the signature lines in my profile options the very first day I signed on to DU. What a relief.
