Why not User’s avatar in Unreal 4 Forum?
I remember avatars! Avatars were funny those old days in UDK forum.
:rolleyes:
I hope they don’t add them, the posts were massive in the old forum.
Why not @. It’s just a 150x150 Gif image.
like it:
We already have signatures, quite enough I believe.
I like the cleaner look.
I actually dislike that we have no avatar XD
Just plain text.
I wish they would take the time and continue on the forum design. We are on such a good way.
I quite like it to have no avatars on this forum.
They are superflous. I like the clean and uncluttered look of the board.
Why should it look like an anime fan board ?
It looks more adult and pro without avatars.
We make** games** not Quantum Theory !!!
Avatars could be optional so that people who don’t want to see them could turn off their display in forum settings.
I liked them because you could always identify someone based on their avatar. It’s almost like putting a face to the person in some ways. Also, now I feel like watching Avatar. Thanks LunyBunny. =P
i also like identifying people by glancing at the avatar. i would also hide some of the not-so-useful info under people’s names (Mentioned, Tagged… etc). these could be moved to the person’s profile page.
Hey
Just to let you know, avatars are something we’re working on, but want to do a specific was so that your avatar is attached to all of your forum and game accounts. Stay tuned 
Please give us a way to disable them locally then. I much prefer the way it looks like now, I don’t want to have screen space wasted with avatars. We already have badges, and avatars would also makes badges less important because the avatar would most likely be a lot bigger (except for ).
If not a toggle, then at least size options.
Great news. 
I think this is a pretty good suggestion!
Yes, several developers have brought this concern up to me as well. I intend to include that functionality. Again, this is in the works but is still a ways off from being complete. Thanks for your feedback, I’ll be watching and taking notes.
Probably can mess a bit with the badges for some very ‘badg-ed’ users. Making a little dirty visual for these users with four, six or more “Badges”.
But for those who does not have any badge can become a little more personalized and alive.
But anyway it would be interesting to see my avatar in the Epics Launcher, or logged account!
And I do not think my virtual appearance (or real) can be considered a superfluous thing.
And finally
Why not go beyond and consider a ‘Second Life’ aproach in Unreal 4 world riding the wave of VR capabilities in Unreal.
****
Because it would distract from the objective: Making games/projects with UE4.
There are more than enough social media sites where you can portrait yourself.
No need for Epic to spend resources on that.
Just include a link in your signature to your online presence and there you can all the avatars in the world.
