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.

Reddit's big fancy avatars were part of its monetisation efforts and I'm happy to go back to upload an image once I've dusted my old files off.

However, there are plenty of free avatar generators out there you can use if you want one.
