Our Discourse version is currently v1.6.0.beta1. We just noticed that the pencil control next to the user avatar is missing such that both new and existing users are unable change their image. T
Has anyone encountered this and would be able to provide advice as to how to resolve this?

Is the setting `allow uploaded avatars` disabled?

Literally just stumbled upon this attribute 15 seconds after posting this question. Also, thanks for the prompt response!
I disabled the ` sso overrides avatar` found under `Login` of the `Settings` tab.
