Some people have custom avatars, but on the profile settings it says that changing avatars is not available. Why is this?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Here you go: Q: Why doesn't the forum let me add an avatar? A: The forum was hacked some time ago. It is thought that the avatars were used as a means of injecting malicious code into the forum. Even though the vulnerability was patched, the avatars will be disabled until a new forum software is released. |

I believe avatars will be allowed in the new forum and I would think avatars will be able to be changed in the new forum as well (although this is somewhat speculation)

But it doesn't explain why it can't be enabled now.. |

They said something different.. Still though there might be some vulnerabilities and they dont want to risk it. I am not saying that is definitely the case but it would be my guess. |
