Avatar Description / Explanation Field

When I see somebody's flag and think "what is that?" I just have to hold the cursor over it to see the name of the country.

Why not have the same thing with custom avatars? Each profile could include an editable field of up to 25 chars to provide a description.

not bad!, Not bad at all

[Asher]

I love this idea also.

Considering all the crap some people put in their signatures and location fields... I have no interest in giving them another place to put more crap

*Trip Wants to put crap under his avatar too.

Awww, come on, pretty please?

Ming...turning down the opportunity to flex his banning muscles more? Who'da thunk it?

C'mon Ming, it might divert us from putting so much crap in the threads for a moment.

Nice try !!

Please Ming

C'mon, giv'm willy(sp?) (Izzard quote btw)

[Apocalypse]

I have to go with Ming on this, but for different reasons. I don't want anything else slowing down this forum.

That's a good idea, actually.

Alternate idea: display your exact postcount when you hover the mouse over the avatar.

[ixnay]

Ah, this wouldn't be hard to implement at all. For postcount, you'd just have to change the postbit_avatar template to:

<img src="$avatarurl" border="0" alt="Postcount:  $post[posts]"> 

For avatar description, you'd just have to add another user profile field and change the code to:

<img src="$avatarurl" border="0" alt="$post[fieldx]"> 

where the x is the number of the field. Quite simple, really.

I'd rather have my avatar trigger an annoying piece of MIDI music when somebody clicks on it. Any piece of Christian rock would do nicely, or else one of the more questionable Moody Blues songs.

Yeah, some people even put the same crap in their location field AND their sig...

No more crap, thank you
