Do you have one on your forum? Do you find it useful? Do you find it useless? If you have one, how many avatars are currently in it? Also, do you find it a trouble because multi members might use the same avatar?
 
I do - have about 100! but most tend to use their own.
 
I don't see the need, and have never used them as most users prefer to have their own 🙂
 
I don't use them on any of the forums that I admin, but I'm thinking of making a lot of custom avatars for my next project.

Seems like a nice idea, especially if they are well-made avatars.
 
We have a small gallery here... Most people use their own but it is there for the people who are new to forums and don't yet feel confident and understand how to get a image and upload it and resize it if it needs to be.
 
I don't have a gallery on mine.. IMO it's a waste of my bandwith, it's not going to be used that much in the end.
 
It is only uses bandwidth if people use it, in which case it is worthwhile -😉-
 
I think avatar galleries are wast of space. If member is new to forums and don't know how upload a avatar he or she can simple ask the admin.
 
Alot of people who don't know things like uploading avatars are scared to ask as they feel embarrassed asking someone as they feel that they should know and that they will be laughed at.

I agree with that, rather than having a blank area they can upload an av for their profile and look into to finding their own or indeed making their own as they feel their way around.
 
Yes, a lot of people are hesitant when it comes to asking for help. Believe it or not, some people are shy online.
 
Well, our software uses defailt avatars,. which really sucked. So, i did replace them with avatars of each brawl character. But, most tend to use their own; but some do use them, since they're already there; and choose who their brawl "main" is.
 
Yes I have a small one. i like when someone has a avatar gallery cause if I am to lazy to find an avatar I just click pick and go :].
 
I don't use them on my forum and I don't use them when I am registered at a forum, I like to upload my own avatar.
