Fyi this worked for us but we had to manually reset “system” and “discobot” avatars back to their original value.

> To reset all user avatars to system generated avatar, here is what needs to be done on server: cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c User.human\_users.update\_all(uploaded\_avatar\_id: nil)@Brock_Busby Since you are hosted by us, I can do this for you. Should I go ahead and reset all avatars on your Discourse instance?

So BEFORE you run this command, double check the values in uploaded\_avatar\_id for “system” and “discobot” and set those back, and you should be good to go!

Thanks for the help all!
