Title: Custom avatars don't working now?
Post by: awoland on October 09, 2013, 11:21:26 AM
Support for custom avatars on the forum is disabled for security?

Yes, apparently it is. It has been disabled since the recent attack.

If you uploaded your avatar recently, it may have been lost in the move.

Then why doesn't it show my old one?

The link is already pointing to the new one, but the image file itself wasn't carried over. Thus your image link https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_38534.gif 404s

Do you plan to return to this in the future ?

I hope this makes its way back, after having any potential exploits fixed of course.

I guess when all the other features will be introduced. So they are all available at the same time.

Don't worry, your current avatar is very nice. There is no need to change it.

Be patient. I'm sure it's better for it to be ready when actually public rather than being insecure etc.

Since this was supposed have been caused by something that sounds like such a "classic" configuration error that it gets a mention in the wikipedia article on PHP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php#Security

I'm kinda surprised that it isn't sorted out by now.


Title: Re: Custom avatars don't working now?
Post by: aspiring on December 02, 2013, 03:17:57 AM
Fingers crossed this gets fixed soon!

I can't wait to get my avatar showing up!

surprise retracted, caught wind that theymos is spending $$$$$$$ on shiny new forum software, so expecting everything is gonna remain unfixed as not worth the bother until that rolls out.

Is there an ETA on that?

Please note, however, that it seems unlikely avatars were used to hack the forum.

are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?

Probably only got a month or so relative "lull" to sort stuff out before shit starts ramping up and going crazy again.

This is all kinda weird. Why can't y'all change yo profile pics.
Dawg. This ain't right.

Post by: tkbx on March 13, 2014, 12:22:27 PM
Seems strange that in addition to custom avatars, they also got rid of the 20 or so "generic" ones with Bitcoin logos, etc. Can theymos not trust himself not to exploit the site?  ;)


Title: Re: Custom avatars don't working now?
Post by: E.exchanger on March 16, 2014, 10:45:12 PM
I so want this limitation to be removed as iam stuck with the same avatar from the starting so it feels irritating sometimes when i see someone with cool avatar !! ;D ;D


Title: Re: Custom avatars don't working now?
Post by: TheMage on March 17, 2014, 01:59:48 AM
Is there a way to put in a request to have an avatar enabled? Or is it pretty much just wait? And if it is just wait, does anyone know how long the wait will be?

If you can't find the problem you have to find something to blame...

Still no way to update avatars..
Why not switch to Gravatar instead?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=854

That should take out the security risk and give people a way to change their avatar :D
www.gravatar.com

Probably not before we have the new forum software (which is at least 9 months from now)...

I think it's a bit embarrassing that this seems to be the only forum (that I know of) without avatars.

Any links to the ongoing development? Schedule? Software?

For development and new features, you can check the "New forum software" section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0.
For the schedule, the last time we heard about it is the following post.

When will the software be finished?

About one year from now.
