Let’s talk about those users who stick with the default avatar. Do you wish they’d take the time to upload something personal? Or does it not bother you at all?
Personally, I’ve always felt a stronger connection to members who upload avatars - it adds a unique touch and makes their posts more recognizable. It’s easier to remember them and even start associating their thoughts and personality with their chosen image. I feel like default avatars can feel a bit anonymous, like the user hasn’t fully invested in the community yet. Even when you set that default image different from the software's default.
How do you see it? Does it affect how you view or engage with members? Do you encourage them to upload avatars, or is it just one of those things that comes with running a forum?
