    New Member Photos?

    Maybe I missed this - just wondering if it would be helpful to the forum if in our registration instructions we encouraged new members to post a photo of themselves kilted as part of their introduction post.

    Understand that many wouldn't be able to - but think it would help us get to know new members better when the could.

    Something beyond the tiny avatar photo.

    I agree, whilst a picture, even a kilted one, may not always be possible for lots of good reasons, it is always nice to put a face to a name.

    Re: New Member Photos?

    I agree with this in spite of being one of those guilty of not doing so. I will be sure to finally correct my error soon. Heck, have a ton of kilted pics from my wedding this summer that I haven't gotten around to posting yet.
    The line for my flogging will start ---------->here.

    I think members, new and old, should be encouraged to post more pictures. They really are helpful for explaining things without resorting to 1000 words...

    Sorry about that.

    It would be nice if we could get members to post their location.

    Re: New Member Photos?

    Part of the reasons for avatars and an alias for many is so that they can take part in our forum and still be a little unknown. Requiring a photo for new, or o;d, members sounds a bit big brotherish. Some things don't need fixing.

    Of course, all the really ugly members would be excused...

    No one is ugly wearing a kilt

    I think photo should be optional and location? at least country or continent.

    I've been meaning to take a picture for a while; I finally did today. It'll be going up soon.
