I have. But I'm avoiding learning php. And converting old posts would be a project...
> I think the biggest advantage is that people can personalize their posts with avatars and signatures. The signature is really good for a med board because you can include the drugs you are on, that way others can see what you are taking without asking or see your diagnosis without trying to remember. Avatars are good because they give people a visual que to remember the people they are talking to.
Signatures have come up before (and I've moved these posts to that thread). Should we give them a try? They could be another optional setting. And limited to, say, 200 characters. You could include a link to an avatar if you wanted. They would display with a show/hide button, and the user could show or hide them by default.
