So the only circumstance where it would increase server load is when you quote someone who posted on another page but not this page?

Well, if the avatar images in a quote would be resized (and frozen if a gif), that would require an additional file download.

So, you'd increase server load by quoting someone. But, if that person was quoted again on the same page (including someone quoting you including the previous quote), there's effectively no increase.

Thanks for that explanation, Grakmar.

Dang. This 8-ball just has it in for you!

Maybe if it is implemented have it as an option for you to pick, disabled by default.

**4oursword**

I'd assume it would be disabled on mobile devices, that would make sense.

**Casey's Law**

Yeh it'd have to be disabled on mobile devices for sure.

Having a separate disable function would be nice and all but i think it would make more sense, and be slightly less work, to attach it to the disable avatar function.

**kronk**

I don't want to disable avatars. I want to disable avatars in posts. Huge difference.

You seem to be in a tiny minority. You're the only one that's come back still in disagreement after solutions are proposed for Lego to hear.

Sorry to say it but, "The needs of the many..." You know the rest.
