Does anyone think that on here, you should be able to put a little pic on your profile,and be able to go into peoples profiles? , that way you will see who is giving you answers and not just go off what their soul is telling, if that makes any sense.I think its better if you can see the face of someone...

[ummmm]

I agree....not sure i'd put my pic on here though. Should give you an option to fill out a profile if you want.

[Ethel]

No. You could put anybody's pic, use their name and be horrible.

[MrBen5]

I have another idea actually too. People could be rated and then other people could see who the best answer givers are...

I have posted my pic on here a couple of times.

I think the problem is that when you skyving at work coming on here then your boss may recognise you if he comes on here and you may get sacked.

[ummmm]

There's a lot of sites that you fill in information if you want, or not. Post pics, or not. I'd be nice to have an option.

Might be a problem for Whiffey though. Six pictures!!!!!

Would anyone really use a picture of themselves?
I sure as hell wouldn't.

I like the anonymity of the internet. I can talk about personal stuff and with an honesty that I just couldn't do in real life.

And I suspect most people feel the same.

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, it would only be optional though...

[ummmm]

Llamatron.....have you ever been on a thread where it says something like

Post a picture
anyone got myspace?

There are plenty of people who don't mind their picture being on the internet.

[Llamatron]

Then I guess it's just me then.

Thats a good idea. I also think they should develop the chat side of this site too. It's great that we can all come on and post a question if we need answers that we cant find, but a lot of us also like a chat, so a chat section would be great a bit like msn.

The evrything and anything question or live chat?

[MrBen5]

You have a valid point Llamatron. Not a lot of people would like to show their photo, especially if asking personal questions, but it would be good to have an option to see. I have no problem putting a pic of me on, but i can see other peoples points of view and reasons why they wouldnt.

Another ABer posted a link to my piccie on here after taking it off my website, thought it would p!ss me off, but like I said to him, my pic is is already in the public domain so it wouldn't bother me, I got nothing to hide!!!

[Tha-Flash]

I thought this myself. It would be a good idea.

It probably wont work though because people are scared of change.

Saying u could put anyones pic on here is the same as saying u could say that your somebody your not. Its possible to say ur somebody ur not, the same way it would be to show that ur not who u are.

Most people don't have time to pretend to be somebody they're not. People can have their pics on forums so why not on here?
