Post by: johnniewalker on August 10, 2014, 07:27:17 PM

Avatar changing is disabled for security reasons, and will be restored when the new forum software comes to live.

And you can ask a mod to remove if avatar, but can't put a new one.


Refer to the meta forum to more details.

LOL, it wasn't a stupid avatar when you put it there, hehe. But at least you have one... I wish I did.

I think we should be able to change our avatars once the new forum software comes out. I think there was a security flaw in being able to use avatars so they made it so we cannot change them.

A asian man named Kim Flay Ming Long, will become President of the U.S in the year 3014, before the new forum software comes out.

I believe it's due to be implemented once the second $350,000 of the the $1M contract is paid. For those who think this post is a joke, the jokes on you.

I am pretty sure this is accurate. We need to wait until the new forum software comes out.

Hate that avatar is no longer able to change or add. Is it permanently removed or just going to fix it?

Avatars are planned to come back with the new forum software. So it is virtually perma removed, since I can't see the new forum software being launched this century

When the new forum software is installed, supposedly. But that may be a long ways off. Will cost millions of dollars apparently. I guess I'm stuck with my "bottlecaps" avatar LOL...

When is the expected date on this new forum software? A forum software that cost a few millions?

Yes, And It would be good if we could not only change but have an avatar too, because I would love to have one.

Waiting for the new software that everyone is talking about, seems like we have to wait really really long for that?

Indefinitely. No worries. How important are avatars, anyway? Getting locked out of the forum for a few days when it got hacked sucked.... was glued to the Speculation forum at the time. :)

Hahaha, your avatar is sure looking nerdy, man! Who's that??? I still like my avatar, why wouldn't I... But I guess it's bad for people who put their avatar just for fun and a limited amount of time and got locked on that avatar then... Hahah...
