New avatars, removed backgrounds

Yes! Petition signed.

I haven't been on Khan Academy in about two yrs. I did realize that they don't have backgrounds anymore and think that it looks dull. But these new avatars are SOOOO adorable. But yes, I agree with you.

I noticed that too. At first I thought it wasn't loading, so I reloaded the background. When that didn't work I thought "Oh maybe there's new backgrounds too." So I try and change the background, but can't figure out how, so I went to the help section and found this. 

The avatars are nice, but I noticed that they arn't the normal, slightly detailed, pun for a name characters. Their kinda bland. So I agree with you about wanting the background more then the avatars. Also I have noticed that not many people have made the switch to one of the new avatars.

Yeah, I also agree. I thought since new avatars came out it would mean new backgrounds. It looks bad with no backgrounds. I hope Khan Academy fixes this.  I have no idea what the point was in removing this.

I also agree it looks terrible without backgrounds

I'd rather have backgrounds than new avatars

I have been using Khan Academy for some time now. Without backrounds it looks really bland and is not worth the sacrifice for the new avatars. The backrounds were so colorful and made the homescreen look a lot happier.

I agree! Petition, signed.

I thought my computer was messed up. After searching everywhere, now I know they removed this. How can they do that! This looks so plain and just bad! I really wish they bring back the background feature.

i want backgrounds too more than new avatars pls khan academy pls add backgrounds

Why remove features? 

I agree! Petition, signed.

Same! The site definitely seems to be moving slower since the new avatars were added. I don't mind the plain look, but I really miss my background. I had unlocked it with energy points gained over several years! I hope Khan Academy did not get rid of them due to financial concerns. If possible, please re-add backgrounds! Thank u!  

I agree. I like the new avatars, but I wish they were able to evolve like the old avatars. It gave me something to shoot for. And I really miss the backgrounds. It made it fun to be able to customize my background. Gave me some bragging rights and also motivated me to want to earn more points seeing others with more advanced personalizations.

Petition, signed.

I agree. The new avatars are nice especially for beginners,but the profile looks pretty plain. And another thing: the last stars backround was the only way that u can say that u earned a million points since they retired the million points badge. I was very disappointed when they removed the backrounds bcs I was working very hard to get the last backround just as Mark Hans and Iheartzebras said

Petition,signed

Bump!

The avatar is kind of bad too, petition signed!

I agree, and I also think some new backgrounds to match the new avatars would be nice.

agreed

I agree! Petition, signed.

I'm fine with anything it's the content that matters

Please add background my profile looks boring please add backgrounds again!!
I'm now currently floating in gray space nothing to see or look at :<

Yeah, this is so sad. I just accumulated enough energy points for the final background and now it's gone. So rude.

Definitely agree. I finally got enough points to get that beautiful blue galaxy background and only a few days later when I came into khan academy again I found out that it had gone :( Although I do think all the new charecters are absolutely adorable :)

I did notice that khan academy is updated. One thing is that whenever I go to post a tips and thanks or a question my avatar is shown instead of a leaf.. 

PETITION SIGNED

I was motivated to have the last background since it looks really nice but as I return, it was already gone. It could make me a really good background with my avatar :<

PETITION SIGNED

i used to have the last background which cost 1,000,000 energy points, but now that the background is removed...i don't even know anymore. i just really want them to add the backgrounds back with the new characters. YOU MUST DO IT KHAN ACADEMY, YOU MUST DO IT.
