you can't because the forums have been hacked and they haven't fixed it yet..

If you read the linked thread in my previous post, you will know that the avatar indeed has nothing to do with the hack at all...

It was initially suspected by many that the attack was done by exploiting a flaw in SMF which allows you to upload any file to the user avatars directory, and then using a misconfiguration in nginx to execute this file as a PHP script. However, this attack method seems impossible if PHP's security.limit_extensions is set.

ok now we are not going to argue about what happened back then , the point is that the feature is disabled and admin will notify whenever it'll be back..! so till then " NO AVATAR "

Indeed, a new forum software is being developed, and the avatar will not be back until the new software is ready.

If you mean how the feature is disabled by theymos, yes it is possible.

If you mean how the forum was hacked with avatar, please check this thread.

So if it wasn't that then why haven't they reinstated them?

Thanks, I meant the latter, but I like your humor.

[MsCollec]

you cant change it either.I'm stuck with WDC 

[rohnearner]

you cant change it either.I'm stuck with WDC 

haha now that is not the situation you want yourself in..! get well soon [to you avatar]

[Baitty]

Think I read they don't plan on enabling it until the new software is completed and its 100% secure.

[techgeek]

I dont think this feature will ever come back any time soon. Ever since the hack of this forum awhile back.

[alani123]

Pro tip: You can't.


Forum satff said that a software update is coming up somewhat soon so they won't bbother to update the current one.
