Hi, In my installed discourse instance I want to change default avatar with some other kind of avatar, can you tell me how can I do that? I tried looking for setting in Admin section but could not find any setting to change default letter based avatars to some image based avatars?

It is a per user setting: gravatar custom avatar default local letters We do have a long standing request to make those user settings a global default for all users that the site admin can set, but we haven’t gotten to it yet.

Thanks @codinghorror, Actually I want to change default local letters to some default images corresponding to each letters, please let me know how can I do that? so that whenever new user register he will get a image instead of letters

Is this already implemented? I’d be really interested but I have not seen anything about it on meta.
