Default avatar

[Silverthorn]

So, I have investigated on how things were done even earlier (danethical). Screenie for illustratory purpose:



So essentially, it was a minimum post height at some point (which, honestly, looks awful). I still prefer a default avatar, regardless of its size (<= 120 px).

I do remember trying to implement a theme-dependent default avatar in here but, as it turns out, there is no easy way in doing this without changing the core files themselves. Yes, I have done this in the past but this makes it extremely tiring to reimplement everything upon each upgrade. So far, the ava should fit both themes.

As far as I remember, the default avatar before the forum upgrade was different than this one.

I guess that got answered by @MangaD sufficiently.


@Someone else: (regarding the pointless scrolling) any website with a styling such as this.


@LutiChris: doing it the other way round (everyone decides themselves how others should look like) is no real option for me. That's just one more thing that could easily mess things up.



Probably forgot a couple more things to answer, need some sort of reminders some day.
