Avatars re-enabled

[cshelswell]

I would think this might have an effect on the price when reselling accounts. Accounts with avatars won't fetch as much. Probably a good thing. I'm not sure I'm too keen on the idea of account reselling

Did you mean accounts without avatars?

No. He is saying that the premium for having an avatar is going to go away.

It's awesome theymos...
Thanks a lot for allowing everyone again to put up their avatars, have been waiting since long time, I heard a lot about it but wasn't sure as if you guys were going to allow it but you did... Good work, keep it up guys...

I think you'll be wrong. Assuming avatars stay it will just make Full Members and above more valuable if anything.

The question is now what will happen once the April fools is over, will we get back to the previous situation or are the real, new avatars going to show up?

[TotalShift]

Thank you theymos, I just choosen my favorite avatar. 

[dserrano5]

Can we have animated gifs?

No.

That's a real pity .

[hilariousandco]

Are you sure ? I have seen that your avatar is different than the actual (in this discussion):

It seems he changed his avatar repeatedly,

Mine is working, don't know what the others see..
Anyway, thanks Theymos!

I see a Euro sign  

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.

I do not abuse, because I want to hope this happens for Newbies [only me] I will pay it, if you want

I want to use this photo

You'll be able to on the 7th of July (assuming they don't get disabled after April Fool's).

Thank you theymos, I just choosen my favorite avatar.  

Haha. This one along with the real one in your profile made me double lol.

We can only wait and find out but I can't see why not. It would be cruel not to let us have them

I see a Euro sign 

Oh, I see it now...
The images actually uploaded, but the others didn't really see it, we actually see the images from https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/fool_x.jpg (replace x with number)

Why??
HE TRICK US!!

[Lauda]

Can we have animated gifs?

No.

Is it possible to have animated gifs in the new forum? They tend to be more interesting than regular images and I've seen them on some forums.
Anyhow great work. I remember people complaining over the course of time, though it was not a issue for me since I already had one.

[chronicsky]

Such big Trickery  
If we see the avatar where user commented it appears as a meme but if we visit their profile we can see their original Avatar

Really well played AprilFool's Theymos
You got us all
LOL

[s1ng]

aH..VERY nice Theymos

I'm really waiting for it

And thanks for fooling us on April Mob

I'm sure they will be possible but doubt they will be allowed. I think they were banned on this forum previously because they were becoming too flashy and distracting. I don't mind gif avatars personally but maybe an option to disable animated ones could be added for those that do.

Oh yes please, pretty please, if our admin overlords ever allow animated GIFs for avatars, then consider the disable option as well. It's not that I dislike animated GIFs per se, but I've never liked animated graphics mixed into textual content as it's a distraction to my eyes indeed.

[hilariousandco]

hey, can you add my avatar just a one day. i really want

Nope. Even if you were a Full Member you wouldn't be able to have that avatar currently. Read the rest of the thread or chonicsky's post above.

[theymos]

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.

So many unsuspecting victims

Awesome to hear! Any restrictions or limits to avatars?
