Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: tim-tams on February 12, 2014, 01:28:42 AM It's disabled for now because that's how the forum was hacked.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: JJKirsch on February 12, 2014, 02:16:36 AM That's exactly what I was wondering about. I was looking for this option and thought it was a member privilige.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: empoweoqwj on February 12, 2014, 03:24:08 AM Probably not for a long time to come ..... like tim-tams said it was disabled because of a hack and its not come back since.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: shaobao88 on February 12, 2014, 08:31:55 AM Err. Got me even more confused - so is the feature coming back at all?
It's nice to have an avatar and I would like one here too. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: rohnearner on February 12, 2014, 09:08:37 AM It's disabled for now because that's how the forum was hacked. ohh that is the reason..! i was tryin to figure that out.. i thought may be i'll need some level of membership status like full-member or hero-member..!Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: jarhed on February 12, 2014, 09:18:05 AM Avatar modification is possible only if/when new forum goes live.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: SirLolicon on February 12, 2014, 09:23:55 AM I was also kinda wondering since I went on a hiatus and when I got back it was suddenly disabled.
Well at least the posts above cleared it up for me. A question though, how did the hack have anything to do with the avatars again? Title: Re: when can i change my avatar?

Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Kiki112 on February 12, 2014, 10:02:18 AM you can't until the forums are fixed from the last hack attack..

The changing of avatars were exploited to gain access to the forum. I'd like to change mine too long time already ::) Theymos has stated that he can remove the avatar if you wish, but not change it. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Sonny on February 12, 2014, 01:14:21 PM I have like 480 posts now and still can't change my avatar...when will i be able to? anyone know? Thanks. Changing avatar has been disabled since the last hack on bitcointalk... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=306878.0 Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Sonny on February 12, 2014, 01:53:59 PM Correct me if i'm wrong but the avatar is the little picture below the name right? Like Dubfx has that elephant. You are absolutely right :) Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: empoweoqwj on February 12, 2014, 01:59:31 PM Correct me if i'm wrong but the avatar is the little picture below the name right? Like Dubfx has that elephant. Correct. And its so cute as well, no idea why he want to lose it, but I'm an elephant lover. Got one tattooed on my arm :) Title: Re: when can i change my avatar?

There were secuirty holes with it, so for now its halted. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Liam W on February 26, 2014, 12:05:10 PM I'm stuck with Homer :(
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: NLNico on February 26, 2014, 12:13:35 PM I'm stuck with Homer :( D'oh!But yeh since that hack was most-likely a backdoor placed way earlier and the avatar code was audited a bit more, in theory it could be enabled again. But I can understand theymos worry just in case there is still a bug in it. IMO, at least "choosing an avatar" could be enabled (without the uploading part.) Title: Re: when can i change my avatar?

I'm sure that if the code is fully Audited, then everything will be fine... Also, I'm using Fry on pretty much everywhere else... Liam Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: cagrund on May 18, 2014, 09:23:07 PM Well again 3 month later no way to get an avatare?
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: bitsmichel on May 18, 2014, 09:41:40 PM For now it is not possible to change your avatar. You see the ones with avatar have a higher ranking than me (Full member, Senior member) and I'm here for about 2 or 3 months now. The ones who have an avatar set it about 5 months ago or earlier. The setting is disabled for now :)
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: jarhed on May 18, 2014, 11:25:08 PM Well again 3 month later no way to get an avatare? Your signature spot is now your avatar. No pics. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Malin Keshar on May 18, 2014, 11:39:56 PM Correct me if i'm wrong but the avatar is the little picture below the name right? Like Dubfx has that elephant. Correct. And its so cute as well, no idea why he want to lose it, but I'm an elephant lover. Got one tattooed on my arm :) his avatar is the elephant coin logo. Still trying to figure out why elephantcoin have been created, maybe to give to elephants a way to exchange stuff through internet? Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: cookmac on May 19, 2014, 12:41:03 AM I dont think you can do this, am I right?
Ever since this forum got hacked.. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar?

Still trying to figure out why elephantcoin have been created, maybe to give to elephants a way to exchange stuff through internet? Probably the same reason as DogeCoin, ShibeCoin, GoatCoin, DuckDuckCoin, CatCoin, KittehCoin, NyanCoin, TigerCoin, PandaCoin, etc. Who cares what the coin does when it has an adorable icon lol? :P Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: pandacoin on May 19, 2014, 11:53:04 PM I'm stuck with Homer :( If you don't want it, ask theymos. He will remove it for you. But you can't have new avatar. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Brandon61 on May 20, 2014, 12:20:20 AM Wish I could change mine too ::)
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: Daniel007 on May 21, 2014, 02:47:19 PM I can't also change my avator. I think there is any technical problem. Like to hear from moderator.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: platorin on May 21, 2014, 03:50:03 PM You can't change an avatar at this moment.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: DubFX on May 21, 2014, 04:34:37 PM I'd like to change it too...but it seems that we won't be able to till that security bug won't be fixed.
Title: Re: when can i change my avatar? Post by: drporschef on May 21, 2014, 06:42:45 PM Wait i know this is retarded to ask, but how is this a bug? and how comes it not fixed?

Theymos has said he'll remove them for users who don't want theirs but wont change them to something else. Wait i know this is retarded to ask, but how is this a bug? and how comes it not fixed? Apparently some malicious code was uploaded via the avatar feature so it was disabled. Avatars probably wont be coming back until the new forum software. Title: Re: when can i change my avatar?
