Why can we only choose from a small selection of forum avatars? Why can't we use any image we want? Or use our character's look like before?

    Because custom avatars have not been enabled on the forum. I do not know when or if we will get custom avatars. I would love to personalize my profile also :)

    Other thread on it filled with empty promises.

    because I guess people posted either explicit or personal pics and some kids either took it or seen something they weren't supposed too. I would love custom avatars as well but then if I posted mine I will probably be ban lmao. It's a great idea that been ask about for since the new forums came to be but they won't implement it the same way they won't implement voice chat in discord. "Too Hard to Manage" ;)

    We are up to 10109 posters on the forums, of which 126 made more than 100 posts each.

    Nexon's web team has not yet found the time to convince Vanilla to accept custom avatars.
    Or, for that matter, to block certain unscrupulous users from obtaining avatars that are not on our list of 52.

    Is the namechange function being looked into at all? Remember Arwoo mentioned having hundreds of DMs.

    Maybe @Ghiblee can go poke someone about the matter? I would assume this falls under her purview.
