can we please tone down the sexual avatars please? male and female alike. Its so freaking annoying trying to surf the site at work on in class only to see a dude's butt hanging out or a girl having her ass "tapped" repeatedly I saw someone had a piece of poop in a toilet as their avy and had to take it down, imo these half-naked ones are way worse. I don't mind them personally, but I know a lot of people are like me and surf this site elsewhere than in the privacy of our homes, so a little consideration would be nice.
My avatar is awesome. And, it is safe for grandma to see. And, it let's you know what this board is about. If you don't like some of the avatars, turn off display of avatars in your preferences. While you are at it, turn off signatures. Then you will get faster loading as a bonus.
Download adblockplus add on if you're using firefox. It lets you right click an image and tell firefox to block it. But IMHO people who put that stuff up as avatars are just being selfish. Yeah, you can turn them all off but they're nice to have to identify people by as long as they aren't going to get you in trouble. Until I found adblock I had to refrain from coming here on my breaks at work.
It really is a shame that these not work safe/kid safe avatars are used. Thanks for the suggestion of turning them off.
But if you turn off avatars and signatures, then you'll have to judge someone on the merit of their posts!
I don't think it works selectively, at least it didn't for me. I adblocked one avatar and they all disappeared. barfo
Did you use the default pattern that AdBlock offered or choose "Custom"? Custom does just that single image. The default pattern attempts to filter similar things (by dropping down one level in the hierarchy).
