How can I change @system’s profile picture on my forum? I just upgraded to beta 5 and it will not let me change the photo. It just dosent look right since it’s so zoomed in. Thanks!

AFAIK, you should be able to do this as if it were any other user, e.g., at [https://example.discourse.org/u/system/preferences/account](https://example.discourse.org/u/system/preferences/account). Is that where you were trying?

Yes, that would not change it.

There was a recent change where we used the site’s `logo small` setting as the system avatar. You can turn this off using `use site small logo as system avatar`, which should enable you to change it as @downey suggested.
