    Yes, because I need to show my support for various nations that some may not like. ;)

    yeah. you probably arent supposed to draw allah or use his real name.

    i'm wondering if they can draw jesus because he's considered a prophet by muslims.

    It is. But you're not supposed to draw him/it or their prophet, Mohamed. I think it's Mohamed you're not supposed to draw pictures of, it's a major offense to the Muslim religion (I think... I don't know much about it).

    Howdy,

    I just noticed that avatars are workingin FTN fed echo areas - nice work :)

    Thanks. :-) It was my intention all along, but I didn't consider that most sysops would only import SYNCDATA via one network technology (e.g. QWKnet) while seeing messages from those same systems/users on other network technologies (e.g. FTN) - so there was a gap there in the association between the 2 net-types and thus avatars weren't usually working on FTNs. It was pretty easy to fix but does require that systems update to SBBSecho v3.12 to see the benefit.

    You'd need access to the SBBSDATA echo as part of your multimail feed,
    and it would need to keep a local database.

    I do think a web service lookup would be a good idea for other clients
    to integrate with. Though it might bloat the output, even having the
    author avatar as a header in the qwk packet as an option for each
    message or extension file might be an idea as well.

    Well, the first part is easy, given that I would be accessing my BBS.

    Sounds like it needs a bit of thought. I haven't looked into avatars at all yet, because for me they currently serve no practical purpose.
