Add avatars in forums.

I think it would be good idea if we have avatars in the forums. Avatars always make it easier to recognise who is saying what and also you can think of automatically update them as per the current outlook of the glitch citizen.

What do you think about this.

Oh, also it is annoying to scroll down 40 comments to see the latest one. According to the UX laws the latest comment should be on top. :)

  • I'd like to be able to add the avatar I use all round the web, so people can easily see that it's me!

    It makes it easier to follow a conversation if people have avatars, although I'm not sure that is true if the avatars are regularly changing!

  • Please don't put the latest comment on top... while that makes sense in certain situations, it tends to not make sense in places where you want to follow a discussion. 

    People read from top to bottom. To follow the discussion, you'd need to read the post, scroll down through all the comments to the first one, read down to the bottom of the first comment, scroll up (at least with your eyes, if not mouse) past what you've just read to the second comment, read the second comment, scroll back up past what you just read to third comment, read the third comment, repeat until back up to the top of the page.... way too much effort. People will tend to not to do this (reading only the last comment) which will stall the conversation.

  • Just add a "sort" option to the forum then, as many forums have. Then everyone can have it as they want it.
