Why do some people have avatars but I can't add any? It says changing avatars is not currently possible, does it have anything to do with Member Status?

No, uploading/changing avatars was disabled late last year due to a security issue. Those that had them prior to that can keep them but not change them.

I believe theymos mentioned they can remove their avatar by sending him a PM. :)

Also, we probably won't have avatar, until we have our new forum software...

You will only ever be able to get one if thymos reinstates it.

What kind of security could possibly affect avatars? O_o
