Just make the image element like 50% opacity or w/e.

Div overlaid in white with alpha transparency would fix that.

I just cant wait till arghs creepy disembodied head in bubbles avatar occupies the whole author box

Cant submit vote. I am for what we have now. Current user self-expression is more than sufficient.

says the dude with no avatar!

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

i guess you all just want to use that superfunny gif someone forwarded to you in a powerpoint email
