I can look into it. I've mainly been holding off on doing this because of security risks if you let users upload their own avatars. If I can work it out, we're still small enough where I could probably enable them but you'd have to email me the avatar for me to vet it and put it on the server. Hate to have to be a control freak like that but PHP bulletin boards have enough of their own security problems without inviting new ones by letting the damn spambots upload their own hack code via .jpgs.
Hopefully it wouldn't be to much of a hassel. I'm just thinking it would be nice to have avatars so it would be easier to know who is who with just a quick glance.
