Anyone have the backstory here?

Weird. Have you updated

Edit- I'm noticing they don't always show, and I'm not sure what the consistency is.

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.

I'm using the web ui now. I think it hits a good balance of not too big, not too small.

Only if they can power up on slurp juice.

Not everyone has one. They're emoji sized by people's names. It may also be instance based... I'm not sure how it all works yet.

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.
