Profile Pictures

I would like lichess to add profile pictures, It gives me the feeling of actually playing a Human, I think it would create a slightly more social atmosphere.

If this were to be added, the old layout would have to be kept, as some people wouldn't want a weird/joke image covering the moves or taking up a lot of the screen. So a user would select "new" or "slim" layout. Also feel as though allowing anyone to upload a profile image doesn't suit lichess' "sleek" style but that's probably more a matter of opinion.

sleek or minimalist? :)

The impulse I understand, but no, a picture would only heighten the distance. Feel the humans online in their human moves and crowd the park as soon as you can.

I miss it having profile images too, but I can understand why there aren't any. It takes moderation resource to manage images
