Add option to disable avatars #140

Hi It would be nice if we could disable avatars globally

freedit-dev commented 10 months ago

Sorry, I don't get it. Why should be like that?

meypod commented 10 months ago

Avatars waste bandwidth and are distracting They also take space when they appear in front-page next to post title So it would be nice if server admin could disable them for their instance

I just thought twice about your suggestion. In my opinion, the author is as important as posts for a community. More space for author is encouraging them to post better content.

I will not add this feature at the moment. If you deploy a website using freedit and it proves the feature is really needed, I'll change my mind.

It would be nice that freedit allows admin to set an url.

when a user uploads a file, freedit calls this url to dump the file to another server and gets the url of the dumped file.

@Jhonfunk Do you mean that save images(user upload imgs or avatars) in service like S3? It's a good idea. I'll add this feature if someone really needs it.

@freedit-dev Yes, this is a very useful feature. Static files uploaded to S3 can reduce the load on freedit.
