Title: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: thebfldoctor on August 22, 2014, 04:19:30 PM Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's? Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avater's Post by: EFS on August 22, 2014, 04:33:41 PM What is Avater?
Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avater's Post by: shorena on August 22, 2014, 04:38:39 PM What is Avater? I guess I have to apologize for my fellow citizen. Its called "Denglisch" and its used by germans that are poorly educated in the language english. Most suffer from overal bad education. I guess this is similar to "Engrish", which you might be familiar with. PS: http://www.avater.net/avater-200x200.jpg Title: Re: Let's have a vote!

If we are going to have them I think they should be locked to .jpg .png .bmp to prevent any malicious "avatars" being uploaded Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: mprep on August 22, 2014, 06:36:48 PM How about you just wait until the new forum is released and any possible security issues are patched up:
<...> Q: Why doesn't the forum let me add an avatar? A: The forum was hacked some time ago. It is thought that the avatars were used as a means of injecting malicious code into the forum. Even though the vulnerability was patched, the avatars will be disabled until a new forum software (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=523070.0) is released. Q: So when is the new forum software coming? A: Well, according to theymos, some time after February 2015. <...> Quote When will the software be finished? About one year from now. <...> <...> Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: Joca97 on August 22, 2014, 08:40:33 PM Let's have a vote!

Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: haploid23 on August 22, 2014, 10:16:45 PM OP, your opinion or votes does not matter. This is not a majority decision, but rather a technical reason. Wait until the new forum 2.0 launches.
Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: Milkcookie on August 22, 2014, 11:43:39 PM the exploit was patched so why not allow avatars again ???

Who want's Avatar's Post by: hilariousandco on August 23, 2014, 07:29:04 AM I believe they were limited and restricted to jpgs at one point but a few gif avatars still remain on the forum. I'm sure gifs won't be allowed with the new software.
Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: Mousepotato on August 23, 2014, 08:04:22 AM I'd love to be able to change my av to something else. I'm kind of sick of this one since I don't even play SC2 anymore.
Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: hilariousandco on August 23, 2014, 08:07:09 AM Theymos will remove it if you wish, but won't change it to something else. Just PM him if you want it gone.
Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: PangPang on August 23, 2014, 12:48:49 PM Avatar isn't that important to me, and so I guess I could wait for another half year. :)
Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: Tsquared on August 23, 2014, 02:26:14 PM Nice to have but not necessary.

Title: Re: Let's have a vote! Who want's Avatar's Post by: Muhammed Zakir on August 24, 2014, 04:30:50 PM Although i don't have an avatar i also believe that security > usefulness +1. I totally agree with you. Security is more important. But they can implement Gravatar or some default avatar in profile picture and we can select the one we want. It will be more secure. If they want, Theymos can make a thread asking to post the images they want to see on the collection and he can upload good ones to the collection after checking it. :) ~~MZ~~ Title: Re: Let's have a vote!
