Of course I do read their username but with tons of words and phrases in my tiny mind I just can't place that particular word into position quickly enough to identify the poster.


I understand about the server lag issues, that is clearly the most valid rational explanation.

Although, I'm pretty sure many other bigger forums than this with a much higher player/member base support custom avatars. Obviously we're not asking for high quality custom avatars. (I'm only siding with the custom avatars, signature banners can cause some significant loading/lag issues) just a normal custom one so we can identify the user at a glance.
