  • Will Avatars ever return?

    I realize the site has been slow due to increased traffic. I understand that disabling avatars speeds things up. But are they gone for good? Or will avatars be back?
    To us, it is the BEAST.

        I haven't seen one for weeks. If you were seeing them then I was at the server busy page.

          Just attach a pic of your avatar to every post you make.

                  I think if you have one of the sites' own avatars, you get a question mark. I rather like this and might try to keep it.

                    Tbh I'm more worried about outages than lack of avatars.

                        I'm planning to change my Zero avatar to zero (from megaman to a japanese plane is what i mean). I hope avatars comes back soon!

                          Why can't you look in other threads to find the answer? Even though I had a rather low opinion of you, I never thought it'd possibily get to the low level of a newbie.

                            Avatars have been disabled for the time being, but not permanently -- they will return at some point as they have in the past. Given recent traffic load observations, if they stay more or less consistent as in recent days, I would say by the end of the first week of July avatars will at least make a brief re-appearance again. That is to say, the re-appearance will only be "brief" if a suddenly begun and prolonged, significant load on the server is generated thereafter.

                              Thanks for the possible time-frame on the return of avatars.
                              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
