This is getting a little ridiculous as you are posting things without even researching what you're talking about. Please check into your problem/suggestion first before posting here. The avatars on our website have size and dimension limits, and once you've loaded them your browser will cache them. We do not intend to block avatars. If you really want to block avatars, use an ad blocker or something like that and block everything form our avatar directory: http://www.politicalforum.com/images/avatars/

In addition, we do NOT allow people to host avatars from other websites, only from ours. When you want to put your own avatar, you upload it to our website. That way, no new DNS lookups, no hits to others servers where they can see what you're doing or send cookie info in the headers. The same is true for signatures (sort of) in that we do not allow images in signatures nor do we allow HTML in posts that allows images to be loaded off other websites. And as for attachments we only allow you to upload attachments so once again no site offloading. Again, treat2, please check into this before posting something like this. All you had to do is right click on a couple avatars and see they're loading off our website and go to your profile and try to put an avatar from another website. Your posting tons of "suggestions" in our help forum isn't really going to help others much, and its a little spammy esp. when you haven't taken the time to see how our website works but you do take the time to write detailed unnecessary solutions.
