You and me and many others will have no problem, they will insert first the avatar, we have in forum many "dummies" users that even to register is hard for them. (like me in coding)

They press what comes first or what they thinks that time. Any way same situation is with force PMs. Maybe their are more forcing mods out there, or other function
that I cannot remember now. If it has an option for us to exclude what we want it would be the best. neither than excluding something specific, today is PM, tomorrow maybe something else.

P.S If it is no hard to make it. Otherwise its ok as it is.
