Thanks
Randy - the fact there is one (1) alternative choice of Avator from the default has become evident
only after my first post on this thread.
For all anyone knew at that time, a new design might be rolled out by Admin each day, or at random, as no advice had been posted anywhere on this area.
Why have just
one alternate at all remains my first question?
All is being made clear into the election. (Clear to those who read this thread anyway.
)
That there is in fact 2 choices. A FT one and a jingoistic USA flag one.
And for those who
know this, they can choose to turn either off. Or swap them over. Or fib and turn either on when they have
not voted.
As I posted, Admin making some uniform obvious indication that folks have voted I have
no issue with, and agree it will increase voter participation. That is good for TB and FT
I do however still suggest
one common avator be used to achieve this end.
Your reference to chat is all very well, however IMHO it negates your point as a whole BUNCH of alternate and obvious avatar choices are on there to freely choose from.
Whenever I was on chat I deliberately chose the
Ansett Australia logo - for years after it ceased flying in fact.
It is entirely your call how many avatars are up there for voters to select from. However if there is to be more than one (and I see no good reason why that would be needed) as a suggestion why not load the Chat gifs as choices if a fast fix is needed?
Then Canadians and Brits and Germans and Brazilians can add one of
their choice.
And make FT look messy.
Less is more sometimes.
