Before the disabling, I believe everyone was able to have an avatar. BTW so he even has the option to change it then? Or it will be there permanently because he is a member and he shouldn't have a avatar option, hence not being able to change itTitle: Re: How can a member have an avatar? Post by: Quickseller on August 19, 2015, 01:23:24 PM No, when the forum was hacked in late 2013(?) the changing of avatars was disabled. Anyone with an avatar could not change their avatar however theymos would remove avatars upon request.
