I see them often actually don't know how to obtain one or how to add one. Some feedback on this subject would be much appreciated.

You can't have one. They were disabled due to a security breach. They'll likely be back with the new forum so you'll have to wait till then.

Only way to get an avatar now would be to buy an account that had one before the option was removed.

Well technically someone could buy an account with an avatar. Other then that you are correct, you cannot change avatars (which includes adding one)

Perhaps an admin/moderator could be sent the avatar the member would like, and change it for them?
If I remember correctly, the security breach was in uploading avatars was it not?

Think that could work there would need to be some sort of fee in place or requirements if people really wanted it, you can still request for them to be removed manually so inverse may be possible. But If I recall correctly its the whole function that is disabled until the new forum arrives Would need some clarification on that idea though.

You are correct this was what caused the security breach, however you need to understand that the volume of new accounts is huge. Just yesterday almost 1,200 new accounts were created. I suspect that a good portion of them are probably in some way spammers and will get banned, however even if half of them get banned that leaves 600 accounts to upload avatars to. If it were to take 4 minutes to upload an avatar for each account then moderators would need to take 2,400 minutes, or 40 hours every day uploading avatars. Spread that between the roughly 25 mods the forum has, and that would result in each mod spending roughly 1.6 hours per day on avatars. That may not sound like a lot however the mods are volunteers and may or may not actually put that much work into moderating every day, plus the fact that the majority of moderator functions are in que, meaning they are behind

You need to wait for the new forum now to have an avatar or an alternate solution is to buy an account with avatar

If You took time to use forum search button then you'd got all the feedback you're asking for without having to start the n-thread over the avatar topic. To put it short....Avatars were disabled following a security breach and are not available till the new forum rollout.

I was teached to repeat a lesson if a person cannot understand something, so if newbies repeatdly failed to grasp common sense rules like to search something by themselves before asking for it, i never avoid repeating it to them. Other people in the audience can consider such repetition annoying and useless but to the one needing it is not useless at all. Take care & have a nice day.
