Hi Israel,
I should have said, Welcome to the Team earlier! :-)
You give the same initial answer as Hugo did. See:
http://support.nabble.com/Avatar-Man-td7580843.htmlHe did eventually concede that there was a case for returning to a less gender specific default avatar.
You don't make a good case for your argument that people should upload their own avatar, nor in justifying the case for keeping a male avatar on the grounds that most users are male. (Isn't it something approaching a self fulfilling prophesy?)
You might have been better suggesting that on forums where personalised avatar's are not the norm then Administrators should set to show them "Small" when it becomes impossible to distinguish more the gender specific features:
Options > Application > Change appearance > Preferences > Classic topic page > Picture size
(to which I would have then suggested that the default avatar should be female as a further incentive for the male users to upload their own avatar on those forums where a personalised avatar is the norm and avatars are displayed "Big") :-)
As a new boy on the Nabble team, we'll also let you off not displaying your username status in <pointy brackets>!
Volunteer Helper - but recommending that users move off the platform!
Once the admin for GregHelp now deleted.
