Avatar

Hi, sorry for the dumb question but how can I upload an Avatar now that I’ve qualified?

There are requirements like # of posts, and length of time as a member. Obviously length of time would be the first one that might be the snagging requirement.

/forum/faq.php?

New Members can reply to any thread, in any forum, but can only start new threads in the Newbie Forum. Once 30 posts have been made, and after 14 days from registration, new threads can be started in all the forums (except the Main Member Forum, which requires Senior Member (300 posts) status) and an avatar can be uploaded.

So:

* 1 - 30 posts or less than 14 days membership: You can start a thread only in the Newbie Forum.
* 31 - 300 posts or less than 28 days membership: You can start a thread in the Newbie Forum and everywhere else except for the Main Member Forum.
* 300+ posts and greater than 28 days membership: You become a Senior Member, and can start a thread anywhere including the Main Member Forum.

Looks like you’ll be good to go in two more days steamon. The answer to your question is: click the “user cp (control panel)” button at the top of the page. Select the “Settings & Options” link near the top of that page. Go to “Edit Avatar” in the drop down menu and follow the instructions. A shortcut is to click on your user name that appears to the left of your posts (in most of the skin options we have) and select the Edit Avatar link. (That link may or may not be available until after you already have an avatar. I haven’t looked that deeply into it.)

Hi.

I was early in wanting an avatar, but the option is available now. All the pictures i’ve tried seem to big so i’ll just have to be patient till I find one I can use.

Thanks for your help

Just resize it, you can use all most any pic. Take a look here How to Resize Your Pics
And I suppose you know the forum guidelines, on the avatar pics.

Thanks guys, done it. Just needs moderation now. Again thanks for your help

Yeah Man

Ha.. I’m puttng a new one up. I can’t wait.

:D

You are lucky that one got through the censors.

Maximize your avatar makes you a liar.

Everyone knows that I’m the only one with a willy that big.

Is it not good? I’ll change it.

Yes, very true! It’s safe to say I’m fibbing with that one. :)
