Hmm, is it just me, or is the avatar system in this program not very user friendly, and not very effective all the time? I think 99% of all my emails and PMs have to do with avatars, why they aren't showing up, why their images become stretched, etc...

Also, I notice the way it works is each user has their image as xxx.jpg, according to their number. Well, this is great and all, but most of the time when a user updates avatars, it simply overwrites the file and stays the same name. So most of the time the browser cache is still using the old image, so they complain they can't see their new avatar, etc.

And you have cases where a person's avatar is there one day, and suddenly the next day it is a red X, and then when they try to upload it, they still encounter problems, etc.

I just wonder if there are any changes to be made to this system in the future, or other suggestions to make it better, since I spend so much time dealing with troubleshooting avatars I can't answer other more important questions.
