Hi there. I'm a REALLY big fan of your forums!

I'm starting a professional website, but I noticed for people who would see my forum for the first time, they would see all the avatars next to the topics in the topic list. Once they become a member they can click the avatar logo to make all the avatar images disappear, however I'm trying to attract a professional grade of member and I'm worried the avatars might dissuade them from joining. Therefore I think it would be a great idea for the forum admin to be able to set the avatars to *not* appear as the default, and then if the individual user wants to toggle the option back on he's free to do so.

For another example in the same vein, I as the only admin created every one of the sub-forums, so next to each one is my avatar... from a professional point of view, this looks unprofessional, it looks as if I'm showing off almost, or trumpeting my role as the site's owner, because my personal avatar is plastered everywhere. I've deleted my avatar so for now it will be OK, although this means I have an ugly-looking bubble person (the default avatar logo) next to all my sub-forums.

I hope Nabble keeps going so well, it really saved my life when I found it, no other forum was as lean, simple and mean as it was! (Not to mention embeddable!)

Regards,,
