Yes, there's a reason. Most forums don't have 85,000 members in need of moderation with a minimal crew. Anyway, the avatars are just another perk of the paid accounts which offer a bucket of options & capabilities to those members.
Click on user panel, and options. Scroll about half way down and make sure that you have clicked on yes to see everyone's. Then, at the bottom, there's a link to set up your avatar. Just follow the directions from there. Oh, and make sure that it isn't a moving avatar. Just a set picture. And INReview will tell you if it's too big.
Why can't a normal user like me see the avatars when I am logged in? The only time can see them is when I am not logged in. I have looked at my options but I cannot figure out how can I enable it. Are the normal users not allowed to see others' avatars?
adityamahesh said this in post #13 : I don't have that option.

I hope Marc and Sean know why I have been excluded from viewing other people's avatars.
Hmmm you're right. I see where the option was suppose to go, but it's not there.
It's possible you have to be a paid member to be able to see avatars, and that might explain why you don't have the option.
Someone will be in to answer you. I'll send a message to a senior mod to come in and answer for you. Sorry I couldn't help more, but we'll get someone in.
I think we are not on the same level here. I don't want an avatar for myself, but I still want to see other people's avatars. Chodder has the option to see them, why not me?
You're right again! I thought chodder was a gold member. Well that just blows our theory right out the window. Now we have two clueless mods. Shall we try a third one?
Then maybe I should make a suggestion worthy of Reward points. Why not allow other members to view (not have) the avatars too? This might induce them to buy the gold membership after all. I mean, if I am not seeing others' avatars, I am not very keen on having my own now, am I?
