Is it possible to change the fallback image used for user avatars? The grey avatar does not work well with our website's theme and I'd like to replace it with my own, preferably an SVG image so we have control over the color depending on where it appears in the website. Thanks.

Hi @aaronmckeon,

I don't follow you, what fallback avatar are you talking about.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Meaning, the default avatar that is shown when a user does not upload their own. See attached (the grey avatars).

@aaronmckeon,

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion, check Default Avatar options.

wpForo Uses WordPress Avatars by default.
