Why can't I change my avatar?

[The Chainmaker]

I saw a lot of older people with avatars but new people don't have them.  When can I change my avatar?

It was disabled because some hacker uploaded malicious code using the avatar upload system a long time ago. I asked the same question when I registered.

He got avatar before the security breach that resulted in the change of avatars being disabled.

But he can't change or delete it.

Think you can request getting your avatar removed but it can't be changed to anything else as far as I know.

Thanks for info I'm interested getting a avatar aswell.  Hope it remains close to this though, I already like the forums.  Hope mainly security updates.

Really?
It's the 1st time I hear this story... does someone know how could it be technically possible to send a malware simply uploading images?
And with new forum update why won't it be possible too?

Current forum uses SMF which lacks security but the New forum won't use this and will have better security.

P.S. You can easily change the extension of a file too.

At a budget of a million dollars, paying out $100k per month for four programmers, I would certainly hope the new software is well beyond "very great".

I thought the budget is adjusted at approximately 300k$?
