We’ve recently decided to disable file uploads, which was accomplished by removing all file types from our upload whitelist. Luckily this removed the option to upload images to posts, but it did not remove the option to upload an avatar. Users have the option to upload an avatar but no file will be allowed.

This has caused a lot of confusion for our users.
