KP's Mugshot thread idea was not received with much enthusiasm which I thought was rather sad. It was a way for members to introduce themselves and it doesn't have to be just a standing portrait - you could show yourself doing something. I liked Erinne's picture together with her mum and Robert J. engrossed in a painting.
The Forum would also look more interesting if members included an image with their name and details. It doesn't have to be a mugshot, it could be a sketch or a location. I got fed up with seeing myself after I added my mugshot every time I posted to the Forum. I pondered on using a view of Ludlow Castle but finally I settled for an iPad sketch of Nidana, the snow leopard cup born at Dudley Zoo. Sadly he died from a stomach infection.
