Why possible to ignore signatures but not avatar images?

[@Leo]

Why is it possible to ignore signatures that we don't like, but is impossible to do the same with avatar images?

[Farstrider]

Why do you have one then? Remove it at once please, I don't like the teeth!

On topic: I have no idea why?

That is simply how IPB Comes. It is a default feature. Neowin are coding their own forum software however and i'm sure they will be open to feature suggestions.

[Timan Veteran]

Ya, I actually would like this feature.

That or a new rule that bans animated avatars "HUM".........

They are making their own??

Yeah, since when are Neowin making their own?

[Brandon H Supervisor]

they've been working on it for quite awhile now

Not very nice :(

[Azusa]

I don't have anything against animated avatars as long as they're smoothly done there is one on here that's kinda jerky and really distracting.

This is truer than ever. There is one in particular that has plastered his ugly mugshot in his avatar and things everyone wants to look at his ugly bottom, err sorry, face.

[The Evil Overlord]

wow, that could be interpretted as a shot across Neobond's bow

[@Leo]

It's not Neobond. :)

But what you say demonstrates why this is needed. Liking an avatar is very subjective. One may not like this bloak's face, while another might not want to see that animal there or that derp face in mine. Give us the option to hide them for specific users.

Darn. I was hoping you was talking about Neobond. :D

[Royalty]

Okay fine, I'll remove my avatar.

[trag3dy]

To be fair I often identify who is posting more often by the avatar than their name. I'm probably the only one who is like that though. :rofl:

person is always active in the 8 forums I assume

[@Leo]

He always posts "facts" from his opinion. Does that give it away? :laugh:

I just put him on my ignore list entirely ;)

[Haggis Veteran]

This would be a good feature

I would not use it personally as i rarely see the avatars lol

I think avatars make the overall website look better as they're used in a lot more places, not just in threads. That's the only reason why I have one - for ages I had no avatar. :huh:

Though I would agree that annoying/tasteless avatars should be forbidden. :p A lot of websites explicitly ban all animated avatars, just by not allowing .gif filetypes,

I can't even recall what mine is - probably linked with my Facebook. But I use them for associations, I remember people by avatar.

You can make an ad block rule.

[Growled Member]

You can make an ad block rule.

Could you give us an example?

[Detection]

Could you give us an example?

Doesn't seem to work for me atm, but you could just right click the image and choose adblock plus image > custom

EDIT -Still works but you have to hover over the members name and right click the avatar from the popup
