Also if you could have your photo or any photo as your avatar. People who didn't want to needn't. But you can't even use pictures from the internet etc. I think it would brighten boards up. Also what if we could change our names but your account told people your previous name?

Hi ILoveYourVibes,

As the previous posters have said, these features are available as a Subscriber perk. You can subscribe for a month for €5, for example, and change your name/avatar within this time; these changes continue after your subscription elapses. Once you subscribe, you can request a name change in the relevant forum, while avatars can be changed from your User Control Panel.

You can order a subscription here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/payments.php

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
