I think seahorsepip could help but I think Greasemonkey scripts would be really preferred method to do so.

Some stackoverflow articles to see:

Greasemonkey method - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/77584-greasemonkey-or-stylish-for-changing-picture-on-website-locally/

Well, I'm not familiar with Stylish, but here's one way for GreaseMonkey.  

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Replace Image
// @namespace   neowin.net
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==
 
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
 
for (var i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {
 
    tags[i].src = tags[i].src.replace('https://www.neowin.net/forum/uploads/profile/photo-thumb-102811.png', 'http://cs11396.vk.me/u43634025/59225345/x_7ca40c5e.jpg');
 
}
 
Result:

(Sorry.  Just an example.)  Edit - Same as above, posted near same time.  Oops.

I'm with Boo: really?

 

Seriously, why would you?

Because I want certain members to have themed avatars. :)

Thanks guys! Will try these out. :)

Here's some stylish code:

a.ipsUserPhotoLink[title="View Profile: Seahorsepip"] {
    height: 90px !important;
    width: 90px !important;
    background: url("replacement image") center center no-repeat !important;
    display: inline-block !important;
}
a.ipsUserPhotoLink[title="View Profile: Seahorsepip"] img.ipsUserPhoto.ipsUserPhoto_large {
    display: none !important;
}

Replace Seahorsepip with the username of the target.

Well, there are many reasons why some people would do this. Some of which have been discussed before. I'll list some of them for you:

* Some people have a dislike for animated avatars, as you'll remember from the numerous topics about disallowing them.

* Some people like to experiment

* It can make it look like the person is contributing to the animal approval movement. :p

Solution for animated avatars:

 

With Stylish:

With Adblock Plus or other such addons:

I didn't say I disliked them. I just meant that some people do, but thanks anyway!
