We’ve added a new option for publishers. You can now change the Default Avatar on your site.

You can now put your own personal stamp on comments left by people without an avatar. Often times, commenters may not have had a chance to set their own picture with their profiles. Or, if you allow guest comments on your site, many of your comments will be attached to Disqus’ own default ugly face. Now, you can use your own ugly face, logo, or whatever you wish.

You can change this option by heading over to your Settings page under Customize and Appearance. Simply upload a new image, crop it, and you’re good to go.

Now all comments left on your site with a default avatar will be changed to your new image.
