So you can set Discourse to allow user uploaded avatars. You can also set up Discourse to have custom default avatars. But does anyone know of a good way to allow users to select avatars from a limited set of custom avatars?

Does anyone know of an example of someone doing this in Discourse or have any good ideas for how to accomplish it?
(sorry if this is in the wrong category)

Right now that feature isn’t available. You can only set a list of default avatars that will be randomly affected to new users.

> Avatars are a big part of anyone’s online identity. Discourse already supports 3 options when it comes to avatars: based on the first letter of your username, your Gravatar or any images you want to upload. But what if you want to provide your users with a limited set of avatars to choose from? It’s now possible thanks to the “selectable avatars” feature! As an admin, if you click Edit next to the selectable avatars site setting, a modal will pop up and ask you to start uploading ava…
