What is the situation with being unable to change the profile avatar at this time?

Not only at this time, but for over a year - there was an exploit associated with it, so that feature was disabled. As soon as the new forum software is up and running, perhaps later this month, we should have that option back again.

Can't a modification be made to the code to avoid that exploit ?

The feature was removed due to an exploit involving avatars. Only older users (such as myself) have them.

I see. It's been a while. I made a stupid mistake, and used the same password for my account here as on an altcoin mining pool and someone fuck-tard stole my account. Was like screw it! and left until now. Now I'm even more pissed I lost that account!

Thanks for the info!

If you have a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with that account, either through posts, PMs, or info on the account's profile, you might still be able to recover it - check the following thread by theymos: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545 (Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords).

EDIT: Jombrangs beat me to it, it seems. Wink

Only old accounts can put an avatar.
