you probably think even having a customisable author column is dangerously liberal- if you had your way, a portrait of adolf hitler would be raised in place of our avatars and we would all submit to the facist will of the moderator party

Re: Avatars
Just place a gradient image blending the pic into the background of the forum background colour.
