Have avatars been disabled?

In summary, avatars may have been disabled for a variety of reasons, such as technical issues, updates to the platform, or violations of community guidelines. The timeline for when they will be enabled again depends on the reason for their disablement. If it is due to technical issues, they may be re-enabled once the issues are resolved. If it is due to updates or policy violations, it may take longer. It is likely that existing avatars will also be affected, but it is best to check with the platform for specific information. In most cases, avatar data will not be permanently lost, but it is recommended to back up important data. The impact on individual accounts will vary depending on the platform and reason for disablement.

I've got an old avatar uploaded to my control panel. It used to display in my forum posts, put now it doesn't. I looked for a button to replace the avatar with a newer one, and I looked for settings to control avatar visibility, but I can't find any of this.
