Title: Avatar cannot be changed
Post by: Trance on March 15, 2014, 04:34:00 PM
When I first joined the avatar did not change now it says it needs my password to change it, Please let me know what I can do with this dilemma at hand, I typed in the password and it still did not allow me to change my avatar! Trying to advertise a friends charity, Seans Outpost (http://seansoutpost.com/) (take a look!)

(Post BTCitcoin address for tips for comprehensive, feasible answers!)


Thanks in advance!

"Changing avatars is currently not possible."

Yes, it has been disabled completely by theymos, after bitcointalk being hacked last year.
It is not related to your password, your activity or everything.

As stated above me avatars were disabled because of a hack on the site.You should be able to use avatars once the new forum software comes out but that could take a while...  ::)

Imposible to change the avatar due to it being exploited for one of the hacks.

Yup, probably because of the exploit.

Does something just seem a little ironic about the fact that a cryptocurrency, which emphases security, runs it's official forums on a platform it can't secure short of disable profile pictures?

I'm failing to think of any other forum on the Internet that doesn't allow profile pictures out of a security concern.

Not yourself, but Theymos stated he'll remove them manually for people, but not change them.

Admins should enable this feature ASAP, because it's kinda hard to distinguish users without avatars.
