Suggestion: make profile avatar image "required" on sign up

One of the things I loved on Ning (where I used to have a community) was to tick the box “required” on the avatar image.

Everybody on the community had a picture – and that was one of the elements to humanize it. It was very nice.

But so far this seems complicated or impossible on Buddypress:

Anyone have a solution? Maybe gravatar makes this more complex on BP than ning?

@rimoreno, I’m not sure if you’re willing to pay — especially since you just want one feature — but WP User Frontend allows something similar to this if you build a registration form (the free version doesn’t have the feature). The plugin might be useful to you for other reasons as well. I’ve been using it and I’m really happy with it:

There is likely an easier and free method of doing so, though I don’t have the time to dig around at the moment. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that.

i think it should be in buddypress core… not as a plugin.
