Is it possible to replace the Avatar with a profile pic thumbnail?

Great idea...

Although I don't think it would be an easy hack.

Hmm, depends. If you want a "real" thumbnails it gets a bit complicated.
But if you just want to show a small Version of the Profile Picture (Browser does resizing), it should be very easy.

Well how about just resizing them.

Easy Way: Browser constrains dimensions.
Catch: Still Loads Full Image. (25 posts per page x 1 profile pic at 50kb each = 1,250KB! :eek: )



Harder Way: Generates Additional Thumbnail.
Catch: Coders don't like to mess with GD.
