More use of avatars

In case anyone has missed it, you might notice I've turned on the user pictures in comments and posts. Just a bit of fun but adds some colour to the pages and easier to relate who's posted by a glance at the avatar on the right then trying to look for the name (you know - "Good with faces, no good with names" concept).

Anyhow, so everyone will get the 'Guest Rider' icon unless they upload a nice image. Up to 480x480px images are good as the site will resize for you. This size is good, because a larger version is shown on your profile compared to that shown by your posts.

Now play nice please... no animations and keep it clean! Sticking out tongue

P.S. The 'Guest Rider' is a silhouette from someone at a recent event. The original picture is on this site somewhere... just for fun anyone want to hazard a guess who it is? Eye-wink

I didn't say there was no support (as there clearly is)... rather, loads of animations on the page is horribly distracting Sticking out tongue

Not Justin. Guess again.

BTW, how nice to the meetings look now? http://nobmob.com/node/9560

Yes, yes... there's always one... Mr Ying-Yang has been told to fix his picture Eye-wink

That silhouette reeks of his northern twang.

Perhaps you think I just like photoshopping Gazza due to previous very wrong doing? Eye-wink

Rob. I think your avatar pic is tooooooo OLD and needs a fresh image! Old Bike, Old clothes, Old ...... but Gee, its a background.

Ah... the Alpes Eye-wink

Hey, but I still have that helmet and those gloves (and wore them on yesterday's ride!). Sadly the tee was left on the Fijian island of Waya and the shorts at Ellery Creek Big Hole.

Shame... 'cos I liked them both Sad
