I wonder if it's possible to add a buddy icon or little picture rapresenting one user ... it could be very difficult in your opinion ? thanks

Am I right that you want to provide avatars for your users? If so, where do you want to display them?

The idea is to show an "avatar" if you prefer this denomination. I've thought in a little picture in the profile. A quick way to have a look at the face's user, optional, obviously. I think that couldn't be necessary add a field in the database. A simple folder containing filenames that match then user ID could be enough...

Do you want to manage that folder or should your should your users be able to upload their avatars theirself?

Oh, I think users should upload theirself... is it simple or there is something more simple than this?

It's just 1 upload form that needs to be created. I'll check if it can be solved as plugin or if we have to create a mod.
