Just a little rant here. I know that not all of us are using this site from work but many of us do. Now, one can argue that we shouldn't have time to use the net while working but many of us do have the time LOL.

It's a little annoying when I'm into a good post but have to skip large segments of it cause there are giant boobs poking me in the face, old ladies with super knockers or girls dressed like maids from porno movies in suggestive positions. Sometimes it feels like I'm back in my old room from home with pictures of the Sunday Sun girls cut out and plastered all over my bedroom wall. Pretty nice pics but I would be embarrassed as hell if my room still looked liked that.

God knows what my co-workers have caught a hold of during my lunch or coffee breaks. It's rather annoying. Can you people please let me wait until I get home for my fix of internet titilation or bikini wearing, grandma, fun pillows

As a frequent reader at work myself I second this notion.

Now that is a respectable avatar. No one could accuse me of getting my rocks off at work staring into the mug of Don Cherry. Wink

With certain web browsers, you can block the offending pictures.

The only thing I'd like to see is the avatar size rules enforced.

I'd be all for both of those. Until then, it's adblock for me.

You kids have it too easy today! Back in the bad old days, we used to have to send the poster with a risque avatar a polite pm, requesting they tone it down.

I wish there were a skin available for phpbb that allowed you to disable all avatars. Until Dave's switches to vbulletin or one of the other newer board systems it's FF + Adblock all the way.
