I agree, you should at least allow members to have avatars.

There are plenty of cartoon ones to chose from

If the interface allows, why not let people use them as long as users can choose to either see or not see them when viewing the forum?

I think this is the cleanest approach - having the avatar / pic off to the left.

Awww, I really like signature pictures. Keeping them tastefully limited in height & width, of course, but it really adds a sense of belonging to the place to be able to customize your sig. Plus, it's a quick and easy way to tell who's who.

I used to frequent AudiWorld's TT forum in years gone by, and seeing everyone's car in the signature there was very cool.

Unfortunately I have to side with Wayne's judgement on this matter. I like sig pics too, but sometimes people get too carried away with them and they really can clutter up a page.

Now what I'm trying to figure out is how to put up an avatar that's not one of the stock ones to choose from, there does not seem to be a way to browse and load your own image.

As for custom avatars, I took this screenshot:

Actually, it was disabled for everyone but me . So I re-enabled it.
