I’ve added a bunch of avatars to the list in the Admin area but it seems there isn’t any option for users to select from the avatars if I don’t force them to choose one. I’d like for the selectable avatars to be an option as well as a custom upload. Is this something that can be done?

If I force them to select from the list of selectable avatars then it only lets them choose from that, it doesn’t allow custom uploads or gravatar.

It’s not possible just yet.

Aww, alright, I guess I just won’t be able to use the selectable ones just yet then. Thank you for the reply!
