Avatars re-enabled

[Morecoin Freeman]

Really good update. Thank you!

I was liking it when it's disabled. it was simple and clean.

This is great!  It can also reduce the amount of scams from account impersonation!  Everyone choose a unique picture.

You can disable them in your profile but you'll probably get used to them.

Been waiting for this feature to be turned back on since I first noticed it was disabled.

Thanks!

Now I am waiting for threads like: "Let's Disable Avatars, they are ugly", "Avatars are the cancer and are too flashy!", "This Forum was better without avatars!" "I am tired of stupid avatars and signatures, I quit!"
I am sure that in the future there will be many topics like that... Let's just wait. And that just will show that people are hating because they can and not because it is justified.

user can already disable avatars and signature in Profile - Look and Layout Preferences.

the people who complains are either an idiot or a jerk

It still cuts down on account impersonation. Monbux is talking about fake accounts that try and make their usernames look like a more trusted member. None of these accounts will ever make it to Full Member, so there is no fear of them being able to set an avatar.

Can I ask again if it is possible to upload a gif avatar? I have seen a few users have one  .

I don't think that's possible. Are you sure you've seen gif avatars? I haven't spotted one myself. I tend to find them pretty hard to take if there's a page full of them flashing away at you.

Theymos has said that he will not allow gifs, (for now) but will keep them for old members who have uploaded a gif in the past. (Before the forum was hacked.)

If you want to see a user with a gif avatar, there is one here:

Why do you ask same question over and over? It's not possible.

There are a small handful of people who had an animated avatar before this new system. I'm not going to remove those, but if they update their avatars then animation won't be possible.

Calm, this is the first time that I ask this question. Don't worry I will stop to post here, and it is better to lock this thread and sticky it.

You have already acknowledged that the question has been asked before (by using "again" in the first of these posts).

Still, even if it's the first time you ask this question, or any other, chances are that someone has already asked it in the past, and it may have been answered already. Always search before asking questions.

—But I have this stupid 360 second limitation!

Use google "site:bitcointalk.org <your search terms>".

Use an avatar that pleases you.

Well, it would really please me if people didn't think my avatar looked like a pair of hairy nuts.

I'm looking for a suitable replacement and have found a few contenders, but I'm curious and open to the possibility that someone else might find an even better image. Naturally I will settle on one that ultimately pleases me, but I think I'll have a better chance of finding one this way.

I don't care what people think about my avatar. That's the point, it's my avatar.
