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=avatarYou 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. |

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Sweet. In theory this should cut down on the number of scams when people create brand new impersonation accounts as it is difficult to impersonate an avatar without the ability to upload an avatar (as a brand new member)

Cool. I think it'll take some getting used to seeing people with avatars who didn't have them before. I'm not sure whether to have one or not now. I think it's a wise idea to limit then to Full Members too. Sweet. In theory this should cut down on the number of scams when people create brand new impersonation accounts as it is difficult to impersonate an avatar without the ability to upload an avatar (as a brand new member)
Hopefully, but some people can never be helped. Theymos also didn't have an avatar before so they could still impersonate him. |

Newbie please Doubt it'll happen. Too easy for newbs to abuse it by impersonating others. Besides, I think it's a nice additional perk to receive once you hit a Full Member status which doesn't take that long to achieve. |

Good to see some fresh avatars on the forum. What is the reason though to limit avatar uploads to only full member and upwards? Why not add members?

Awesome, I can finally change my outdated avatar to something else Thanks for re-enabling this and hopefully it won't cause anymore issues like it did in the past. |

Probably to minimise the possibility of abuse. You can achieve Member status in as little as 16 days whereas it's a bit longer for Full Member. And as mentioned above it's a nice perk to achieve with time. You're nearly a Full Member as well so not long to wait. |

Yes I know but I'll still have to wait a week or two, which is painful. If avatars are disabled again, oh well... |

I doubt they will be disabled again unless another exploit is found which I'm sure Theymos has now taken care of. |

Why is everybody's avatars bitcoin memes? Is theymos trolling us? Eal's and Quickseller's are Spongebobs. I think we've been April fooled haha. Junior members still takes at least 42 days to make... 14*3 = 42
Nope. It takes 3 activity periods which can be achieved in 16 days if you time it right. |
