Changing custom avatar

Hi, Is there a way to change a custom avatar set that I've used, so that every user has the corresponding new image?   From what I've seen in this thread https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer...

    Here is an API call to update the user avatar, you will need to create a script which will loop through all the users and will update avatar for each.

    Also, you need to create a mapping logic which will return you new avatar corresponds to old one.

     

    Thanks

    It turned out that it was a lot simpler than what we were thinking: it is possible to simply delete the old version of the avatar and upload a file with the exact same name.

Oh, d'oh! I wish I'd thought of that! We just had a professional services engagement to mass-replace our avatars!
