How do I change my personal avatar?


Recommended Posts

Posted

One of the ways to personalize your posts here on the forum is by using an avatar. We have hundreds of them available for you to choose from, and once you have made 50 posts and have been a member for at least two weeks, you may use your own custom avatar.

 

To change your avatar, follow these steps. First, click on the "User CP" link at the far left of the blue navigation bar (to the left of the "GottaPoints" link) on every forum page:

You will then be brought to your user control panel which looks similar to this:

On the left side column, click the "Edit Avatar" link to go to the avatar selection page:

On this page, you can select one of the many avatars we have on the forum. We have many categories - just use the drop-down menu to browse through them all until you find one that you like.

 

Once you have made 100 posts on the forum, within an hour the bottom section will appear and will allow you to upload a picture from your computer to use as your avatar, or you may also enter the web address (URL) of an image hosted elsewhere to use as your cutom avatar. Please do not use any avatars that would be considered offensive, or they will be removed.

 

If you have any questions or need help, please reply to this thread. Thanks :)

I keep seeing references to having 50 posts, and then 100 posts.

 

I'm scratching my head on this one - just hit the 50 mark, and not able to change it.

 

Clarification???

Never mind, it finally showed up....

Yeah, it's not instantaneous... As I recall, it's a routine that runs on the server every so often throughout the day, then access is granted. ;)
