Of course! Why not use the free space? |

We have an opportunity to have our avatars increased in size, which would make them easier to see. The increase will be 20 or so pixels and i think it would be a great use of the free space left on the right side margin.
edit- FYI, the alter would mean you have the opportunity to enlarge your profile pic. If the change did happen, your avatar would remain the same size unless you uploaded a new image. _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

Why is there no option to get rid of avatars entirely? Pointless and distracting things they are. _________________ '67 bug: seized by the authorities

Exactly! I remember samba people far better by their avatars than I do their names. _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

Its not a democracy. I never said it was. Or did I say it should be. I got the Everett "ok". From the "dictator". _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

I vote to remove the post count to detour dumb ass replies that people do to up their count
I think its like a status thing to some, If you have been on The Samba for a while you should know who has knowledge and who the dumbasses are.
Not going off peoples count. _________________ F#CK CANCER

You hate the platform so much (and freely express it to be so) yet you are often in there posting....... go figure.....

Hate is such a strong word.
Just feel that Vanagoners are in their own little bubble and not part of the larger VW community.
Never read the Site forum, never read or post in the Show forum and other than you, never post in the Off Topic. But then everything seems to be included in the Vanagon "lifestyle" so why look anywhere else. _________________ Glenn
