"Icon updates and user pix"

Greetings!

You may have noticed that I added user level icons to the sender/poster header in the message views. I belive it's possible to add user pix (eg. photo of yourself) in that box as well. It might be a drain on system resources, but if we keep them small, they shouldn't be too bad.

Here's the question: Do we want that? Perhaps posting mini avatars would be better?

Thanks!

Ben

I think Joe's right. The prioriety is MP. Let's see how that runs before trying the avatars. If we've got massive lag without them, then it certainly won't be good to bring them in. Thanks for clearing the way.
