One thing I missed during the reddit era was user avatars. I always found it much easier to recognize posters this way. The lack of avatars next to a post made that whole era feel faceless. I’m glad avatars are included in profiles, and I think they should be brought back into the main UI.

I currently use Connect on Android, which puts a small (10x10px approx) avatar next to names. It would be cool to have an option to enlarge this, but it seems like a step forward.

    Really? One thing I missed during the reddit era was no avatars. They weren’t a thing until new reddit. Regular reddit never got them, and I liked it that way.

      It would be cool if apps made showing avatars an option. I could see why someone wouldn’t like them… I just remember pictures easier than names because I’m a little special, so they work for me.

      That said, I’m not saying we should go crazy and do table breaking SA red text avatars.
