Title: Idea: Random user avatars by default Post by: rme on June 19, 2014, 08:11:33 PM If the user does not upload any avatar the default one should be a random one (a pattern) generated using his user id as seed so every user gets a unique default avatar (until they upload one).
Also newbies should not be allowed to upload a custom avatar. Title: Re: Idea: Random user avatares by default Post by: hilariousandco on June 19, 2014, 09:14:04 PM Why? What's the purpose of this? If a user doesn't or choses not to upload an avatar I don't think we should be forcing them to have one.

At least for me, seeing colored patterns is faster than reading the usernames.Title: Re: Idea: Random user avatares by default Post by: zimmah on June 26, 2014, 08:34:29 PM not forced, should be able to opt out from it,
but at least it will allow many of us to have some kind of avatar, i hate being avatarless. Title: Re: Idea: Random user avatars by default Post by: Wangbus on June 27, 2014, 12:01:19 AM Could be ok if it's simple like Github's ones. Not sure how to make this feature elegant otherwise.

It looks good. Will they enable the option for uploading a custom profile pic in new forum?

Uploading photo was disabled after the forum got hacked. So did devs got any anti-cheat to prevent further attacks? Any details on that?

It is so difficult to find my own posts in a thread at the moment.
Title: Re: Idea: Random user avatars by default Post by: Baitty on July 21, 2014, 07:19:32 PM I like this idea everyone complains about not having avatars. But, the user should be able opt for no avatar too.
