It's disabled for everyone because of security.

If you want to remove your avatar, theymos do it for you. Changing option is not available.

Because it's been disabled. Theymos won't change it for you, he might remove the one you have.

IIRC one of the hacks that occurred in event history was as a result of a flaw that stemmed from avatars. Hence they were disabled to temporarily solve this issue and theymos has no plans on re-enabling this functionality.

How many months ago was the hack due to the profile pictures?? It's been months and yet no obvious advances..

This is shameful, bitcoin soaks in pride yet we fail in basic necessities like a hood, working forum.

Theymos,  get to work please, or hire people. ASAP

It was before November, I know that much. And he's already hired people but I agree, the avatars should've been sorted by now.
