Now I realized that having so many colorful avatars are disturbing and so we may soon see a post "Disable all avatars" like we have "Disable all sig ad campaigns" Cheesy

Just kidding Wink

I'm sure we'll get them soon enough, though you can disable avatars like signatures (though it probably won't stop people from complaining). I was wondering how long it would be before sig campaigns capitalise on this or people start renting/selling them individually:

You could do an avatar campaign, perhaps offer a bonus for people changing to a dadice avatar?

Already discussing about it. Might decide in 24 hours.

I doubt avatar renting will be as lucrative. The main reason for this is that you can't make it a clickable link like you can with signatures, it isn't really a proper ad. Also, I think people value their avatars more than their signatures.

Why were avatars allowed again? Was the exploit fixed?

Nope, the exploit wasn't fixed... Roll Eyes

Come to think about it, it was in fact an odd question, since uploading does take place, the prank image isn't simply put there Cheesy

May be it was fixed, after all

All user avatars were uploaded surely: https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_146601.jpg
And there is the other ones too: https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/fool_4.png

(change to .jpg to view few others)

So, when this prank is over, will I get stuck with a random meme? or the one I uploaded. (check profile)

The one you uploaded.

The avatar feature will work properly after April 1.

So, it will be the latter, right? Cheesy

Oh!

So it does work.

Hard work getting an avatar down to that small size though to be fair.

It is now once again possible to upload an avatar to the forum. You must be a full member or above to upload an avatar. Go to this page (also linked in your "Forum Profile Information" settings):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=avatar

You can only upload new avatars: you can't choose one from the server or use a link as you could before. (If you are currently using one of these types of avatars, the upload avatar page will say that you don't have an avatar.) Also, uploaded avatars are not resized: they are simply rejected if they are too large.

good ! thanx Cheesy

question : is it possible to increase the alowed size of avatars to ie: 120 x 120 x 120 ?

I for one welcome the arrival of 3D avatars Cheesy

I wonder how long it would take me to spam my way to full member so that I can change my avatar?

-snip-

what do you mean with trick the SMF to upload .gif files? Can you explain better? Thanks.

Normally SMF forum doesn't allow you to upload .gif extension files. (It may be changed now).
But if you rename the extension to .png you can upload it as animated gif. (It should be under or equal to 120x60 px)

Oh thanks, I didn't know it... but I have read that theymos had said "no" when someone has asked if it was possible to add a .gif file as avatar. Maybe he didn't want ... I don't know.
