I know I am a bit weird but there is an Avatar that I hate and I would prefer to not see it
Is there a way to block someone's avatar without blocking them?

Where I play online poker I can do this easily

If it's me then I think I just found Megatron...

Add them as a foe and their messages will be minimized kinda.

No admin, but I'd say no.

I don’t think so, but I may be under the hypnotic control of harvs avatar, preventing me from escaping its sinister grip…


Is it my big toe in my avatar that you find offensive? I can only fan with my feet…

You guys are all good LOL
In the past I have hinted at harvs giving his av to me and G knows I would buy his one off backs

I am just being very quirky about an av that features someone who I cannot stand

Is it Ben Stiller?

I wasn’t going to say it, but I got five bucks that says it is

If you're using a browser like Chrome, you can use ublock origin to block avatars (right click on it, block element, it should know to block that specific avatar. I tried with one and it doesn't block random avatars, just the one I selected for blocking). If you're on mobile then I got nothin.

bdawg you are a

uBlock Origin is a godsend

Yes it (thanks to bdawg) has made the internet so much better - those pesky ads on sites like IMDB etc are gone
Let's face it we can all live with anybody's choice of avatar but to get rid of so many ads - what a bonus!

Shoutout to UC for being ad free.

Being weird but just ublocked another one that once again is a very good avatar however this one creeps me out for some strange reason (that being I am strange )

Wouldn't it be funny if I could give posters an avatar of my choice

Might that avatar be doll related per chance?

If you're thinking of felicityk's Queen of Hearts Barbie, you would be totally wrong - I am starting to fancy that Barbie
I might be turning into a Lars

I'm guessing either a spiral-faced wizard, or the grim reaper. *cough*

I like those ones Tim, harvs is definitely in the top 5 avs on here.
I am glad I started this thread as I got a wonderful solution to further improve whacky me's enjoyment of this forum but I would never want to draw attention to someone's choice of avatar purely because I react weirdly to it

I did bet on the first one but failed miserably so, I'm not giving it another try . Especially after having dropped a grand on energy bills last month ...

"I'm sorry, Honeybee. I can't let you do that...."

I keep opening this post hoping to find out whose avatars are getting blocked

As if I would
I just had to show rousselle who is boss of this thread
I only 'previewed' a block of his avatar and took a snip of it As I have not worked out how to Unblock

Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Well I dug out the old 2001 blu-ray today and found 3 hours to watch not only the whole movie but also one of the extras - the doco 'The Making of a Myth'. I never realized the connection between HAL and IBM

What with this forum's recent debates on AI, it seemed appropriate to be watching HAL in operation.

Of course it won the Oscar for Best Special Effects but it is hard to believe that it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture

I intend to watch the other Extra features soon

You are of course the rousselle
