Avatar Change Across the Boards?

I don't know if this was suggested already, so forgive me if it has, but is there a way to change an Avatar one time across all forums that I've joined? I noticed that I switched my avatar on one forum, but the old one was on the other ones. If there isn't a way, do you think it could be added at some point to a new release?

If you set your avatar in the Hub, this one will always be prioritized. 😊

How long does it take to sync with the other ones...I changed it in the Hub over 24 hours ago and it hasn't affected the other ones. I changed it manually on Drama Llama a while back, so that one has the pic that I have in the Hub too.

This should now be fixed @DramaK - Have a look and let me know.

It hasn't changed yet. I logged out from the Hub, removed the avatar, then added it back and went here and to postloop to check and it hasn't changed yet.

Hmm I may have mixed up my logic.

So the way it works at the moment is that when you set one in the Hub, it’s defaulted when joining a forum. Once you set an avatar on the forum, that one is prioritized.

So you can’t actually upload a new avatar in the hub that automatically changes them on every forum you joined. At the moment you’d need to visit every forum individually.

I may change this next time, but I’m not promising anything yet.

Ah, okay. That makes it a lot of work for the user...but also, there might be some forums that they want to have a different avatar, so your way makes sense for that.

Yeah, it's a bit a two sided sword I'm afraid. I'll think about it and come back to this when I've made a different decision.

Couldn't you make an option on the hub that is like, "Override this avatar with all boards I'm a part of?"

Ha, that's actually brilliant. Didn't think of that. Thanks. 🙏

I'll have this sorted in the next release. 😀

In the updated hub, I changed my avatar in my Manage Account and it only changed it there, not on the other boards.

Yeah, I haven't touched that area ever since this discussion. I'll take note! 🙂

You'll now find the Apply to all my boards button. ☺️

Thanks! I applied a new one and it said it will take a few minutes so I'll check back later.

Yep, runs through a background task. Check in a few minutes.
