Go figure, someone who isn’t interested in avatars is the first out of 200-300 users so far that posted a NSFW link in their public SDMB profile. I enjoy the avatar, but as a reminder for anyone who doesn’t, you can assign any image you like to any user you like with a simple edit to the avatar script. See the section called “Custom-assigned Avatars”. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > I don’t give hoot about the script using my gallery picture, because I’ll bet there are less than two dozen posters on the whole SDMB that use the script. Well, obviously you cared enough to deliberately provoke people about it. I think a sticky WOULD be a good idea, since it would also show people who want to use the script how to assign avatars to other people, and show how to block the ones you find offensive. ---
