Description
Currently the avatar of the mysteryman is your only option of a static avatar. I want to add my own design default avatar but the mysteryman is hardcoded in bp-core-admin.php. Not nice if you want to auto update in the future to have your own default icon/options overwritten.
Solution: add a way to add your own avatar. Can be by plugin with add_filter instead of hard linking to an image in bp-core images map. Harder future option is to upload your own default avatar from the admin.

This is more of a custom site themeing issue rather than a core bug, and with the parent/child themes in BP 1.1, this should be easily achievable.

- Summary changed from Change the default avatar option. to Allow upload of custom default member/group avatar
This item should be revisited as a UI/UX enhancement for the general user. I understand that it can be included asa theme extension, but for the average use case (non-dev), the ability to simply upload a new default avatar for both groups and members would be of considerable value. This is a core branding function of the initial install, just like naming the site or stting one's tagline. The mystery man, monsters and geometric patterns quickly id the site as a BP install.

It's trivially easy for us to add a filter. Let's do so.

With the additions of filters "bp_core_avatar_default" and "bp_core_avatar_thumb" in bp-core-avatars.php, this ticket can be closed.

Do we consider adding a UI option so this can be set easily? If not in BP, maybe we could put together a patch for WP and send it upstream.

Would be nice. Let's see a patch. Bumping to 1.8.

- Milestone changed from 1.8 to Future Release
I would like to see this implemented, but (a) it's not 100% clear that it should be a BP patch and not a WP patch, and (b) in any case, there's no patch here yet, so it's not going to make 1.8. Moving to Future Release pending further action.

I'm going to close this as it had no traction, and I think our newly-defined audience of Site Builders and Developers could filter this pretty trivially (much more quickly than it would take us to build a UI for, any way). I think Boone was right to question whether this should be a WordPress enhancement or not, too.

Aside: There's a plugin by shanebp https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-local-avatars/ which also has a link to 'Bulk Generate' avatars for all users and groups who do not have a local avatar.
