I agree with this; they cannot assume that everyone who accesses your site is familiar with avatars or 'old school.' The newer FB generation are likely to not understand and it makes the site entirely too confusing and/or complicated to use. If you cannot just upload pictures and then select one for a profile photo (FB style) than just have a simple place on the profile that says "Upload profile picture" rather than all these pages set aside for 'avatars.' It confuses the hell out of see more me (the whole package does, honestly, but it's the best for the 'price' i assume) and I am from the old school BBS days of Worldgroup/MajorBBS. I like Boonex, since it's reasonable versus the 40,000$ portal software I want and cannot afford.. and would love to be a paying member to get rid of the ads..but need a little help first and people are quick to flame newbies.
