Avatars re-enabled

[funtotry]

Wait wait one second, I am seeing all the same photos in the other peoples avatars, all these bitcoin memes but in mine it is the same. Is there really an avatar feature being added, but today all avatars are replaced with some bitcoin photos? I don't get it

Yes it is an april fool :

If you especially dislike the avatar you were given, uploading a new avatar (or reuploading your current one) will give you a random new one. If anyone has any ideas for more "fool" avatars to add, post them here and I might add them later today.

The avatar feature will work properly after April 1.

Ahh ok, I thought everyone was just using the same photos until I realised that it was a joke. The feature is good though, an avatar adds a lot to the user, makes it much more distinguishable between users.

I thought it was an April fools joke. Is it only available today?

EDIT: I see now, glad I didn't change mine

Funny that you appear 5 posts after someone linked to your profile

Only today (April Fools Day) are the avatars switched to the random joke/meme/Spongebob avatars. After today everybody's avatars will be switched back to the ones they have uploaded, and apparently from now on all members above "Full Member" status will be able to upload/change avatars at will.

Sweet! An animated gif! I believe that's the first and only one I've ever seen.

Before you start spreading that as fact remember today is still April 1st and he said "after April 1st" he didnt say "starting April 2nd" so it very well could be memes for a while yet

He's had that from way back before the original avatar ban was implemented the two of you must have never crossed paths until now

Thanks for avatars. It sure is good option to have... again. Better later that never. Too bad we can't have animated pictures and I think I would be better if avatars would be available only for Senior members and above. This way you really will have to earn it.

No the fake avatars (the joke ones) are avaliable today but the new avatars will be avaliable after today is over. So its partially a joke.

It is now once again possible to upload an avatar to the forum. You must be a full member or above to upload an avatar. Go to this page (also linked in your "Forum Profile Information" settings):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=avatar

You can only upload new avatars: you can't choose one from the server or use a link as you could before. (If you are currently using one of these types of avatars, the upload avatar page will say that you don't have an avatar.) Also, uploaded avatars are not resized: they are simply rejected if they are too large.

I like how its when I was checking my PM's and see a weird looking pineapple that I realize this function is BACK!
About TIME You Fool XD (Apr 1 I see what you did there)
I mean out of habit I'm keeping mine lol but good for everyone else this deserves a party

It's sad indeed but it's a good way to prevent impostors trying to scam.
