Forum Avatar System Update

The forum avatar system will be undergoing an update Thursday to streamline forum avatars! Currently forum users can have an avatar in Arc and a second avatar on the game forums. This update will upgrade the forums so that they automatically use your Arc avatar when you post.

When the update goes into effect all forum avatars will be temporarily replaced with default game avatars. Once you log into Arc (at the top of the page) and visit the forum, your default forum avatar will be automatically overwritten by your Arc avatar.

If you have a special avatar for the forums, please make a copy of it now and use it to update your Arc account avatar. After the update the current forum avatars will no longer be accessible!

You can change your Arc avatar here: https://www.arcgames.com/en/my/account

This change will go into effect Wednesday, December 9, 2015 @11 AM PST

    Is there a fix on someone's "to do" list to bring back forum titles? Since the avatar thing is a cosmetic situation the forum titles would fit in that category.

    Thank you.

    I'd love to use color in my sig at last.

      Ahem... I'll rephrase: I'd love to use colored text in my sig other than it being part of an uploaded picture.

      That's also why I keep asking for a T6 KDF Raider despite the Kor having been released. I don't wanna photoshop that picture just because I can't write colored text in my sig.

      It would be very nice if we had an option to disable the display of forum signatures. They have gotten wildly out of hand, and I'm sick to death of looking at them.

      Thank you very much for the information, but where is "forum configuration" please?
      ***edit***
      I found "signature settings" under "Edit Profile" and that seems to do it. Again, thanks very much. And I would add that this now makes the forums scroll smoothly again, so two birds with one stone! :)

      i should point out that there was no option for me to color text in the signature window, but that didn't stop me from doing it in a quote box and then copy-pasting the resulting text into my signature and saving it - have you tried that?​​
