Why donīt you have your picture on your avatars?
I sometimes wander why forum members donīt have pictures of themselves on their avatars. I find it nice to see who is who when communicating. Are people shy, or just afraid of something? Just a humble question.Itīs like talking to people in a costume party, not seeing their faces. Donīt mean any disrespect, just curious to know :)

Too lazy or too busy to think of it. Take your pick.

Josh - I'm fairly confident I can track you down. Look for the guy with a red arm and a rather specific tattoo

People here have said 'privacy' which I totally get but then some of these people have also posted in the "Show me your face and your Rolex thread"

Mine is just a picture that is very special to me. It's one I took of my favourite animals whilst on safari on our honeymoon. I'm sure you'd rather look at that rather than a picture of my ugly mug!

Because this isn't a dating website? Wouldn't be a good one if it converted to one either because of the average Rolex clientele being older and male. Unless you enjoy aged sausages.

On this thread top left on screen look for "User CP" option, click on it and towards the bottom left you'll see edit/add an avatar. Select a pic/image from your computer or photo library on your iPad/iPhone.
