Is this a joke?

Is this a joke?

maybe its for 1 day only, we'll soon find out tomorrow if they stay or not.

Great stuff! I'm glad it's back. This should spice things up around the forum again.

I wonder how long it would take me to spam my way to full member so that I can change my avatar?

[defcon23]

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.

good ! thanx  
question : is it possible to increase the alowed size of avatars  to ie: 120 x 120 ?

I for one welcome the arrival of 3D avatars

Oh!

So it does work.

Hard work getting an avatar down to that small size though to be fair.

Now I realized that having so many colorful avatars are disturbing and so we may soon see a post "Disable all avatars" like we have "Disable all sig ad campaigns"   Just kidding  

I'm sure we'll get them soon enough, though you can disable avatars like signatures (though it probably won't stop people from complaining). I was wondering how long it would be before sig campaigns capitalise on this or people start renting/selling them individually:

You could do an avatar campaign, perhaps offer a bonus for people changing to a dadice avatar?

Already discussing about it. Might decide in 24 hours.

I really want to use avatar, but I'm not a full member yet

[unamis76]

Avatar changed, thank you!

Why were avatars allowed again? Was the exploit fixed?

[ndnh]

So, when this prank is over, will I get stuck with a random meme? or the one I uploaded. (check profile)

The avatar feature will work properly after April 1.

So, it will be the latter, right?

The one you uploaded.

Great

That was a clever one, btw

Hello, guys, this is Voyager one, speaking from the edge of the solar system.

Nope, the exploit wasn't fixed...

Come to think about it, it was in fact an odd question, since uploading does take place, the prank image isn't simply put there

GOD DAMN IT, EVERY TIME I FALL FOR IT.

May be it was fixed, after all

All user avatars were uploaded surely: https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_146601.jpg
And there is the other ones too: https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/fool_4.png   (change to .jpg to view few others)

I doubt avatar renting will be as lucrative. The main reason for this is that you can't make it a clickable link like you can with signatures, it isn't really a proper ad. Also, I think people value their avatars more than their signatures.

Yes of course, I don't think it will start an "avatar campaign" . It will be really insane as concept.
