Some people have this issue, for some apparently it has to do with which internet browser they use, for others it's a problem with the forums themselves.
I suggest you post on Customer support forums.
People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true! Wizard's first rule
Passion rules reason Wizard's third rule
Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie. Wizard's fifth rule
Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self Wizard's tenth rule
I noticed you can no longer, (since going live that is) provide your own image, but only select from the selection of icons provided.
has been that way since early access and they switched from the beta forums to here, you can only use one of the preloaded images they give you from which to select your avatar icon.
Not only that but you can no longer have images in your signatures either...
