Want to see avatars on the SDMB? Here's a script.

… that I don’t want cluttering up the other ATMB thread. This seems the more appropriate thread.

I’ve wanted to have some sort of ‘avatar-like’ symbol next to user names that will signal a poster’s category, as assigned by me, such as: ‘likely idiot’, ‘likely valuable contribution’, likely good story of dubious accuracy’, etc. Also, as you mentioned in that post, ‘this clown has been banned’. My question is, does your script (I don’t currently use it, and haven’t downloaded it, so can’t check myself without excessive time and effort) enable me to assign a pic stored on my local HD to someone? I don’t want to rely on any external service to host the pix, and I’ve got plenty of free Gigs on my HD, and I can’t imagine that taking up even 1 GB, even if I have 1 image for each user who’s ever been active. All I want is a way to assign posters into categories that are instantly visually identifiable.

And I don’t care if an ‘avatar’ shows up next to users I haven’t assigned the ‘avatard’ to, nor do I care if nothing shows up next to one of those unassigned posters. I might even give myself the ‘avatard’ as an avatar, just for shits and grins.

Does your script allow assignment of locally stored pix?
