You have to have been registered for half a year (I think?) to use an avatar I'm afraid. This is so people can't sign up just to have irritating avatars, and so on.

hmmm....well that kind of sucks...i can understand y u would make a time limit, but isnt a full year a little harsh?

I figure its to prevent abuse of the avatar system.
ie people creating accounts then putting a porn avatar up and stuff

Who cares if you have an original Avatar anyway. Plus 12months is a good time. It means that you have to actually have some sort of commitment to the forums if you want one. Phil's avatar makes me want coffee tho :/

To make us all coffee addicts.

how does the avatar come into effect after 50 posts and 1 year?

I'm not quite sure whether you mean how does it work, or how do you put up an avatar, so i'll answer both :p.

When you register your account, it takes note of the date etc, and it permits you to add an avatar after a year. Whilst i cant say that i know exactly how it is done, it wouldnt take all that much imagination to think of an if then statement like "if account is longer than 1 year, then allow avatar, else not".

As for how (which i think is what you meant :)), all you need to do is click on the Control Panel (Here), and under the Settings and Options list on the left, you will see the Edit Avatar (Here) link. Select "Use Custom Avatar" and upload it from your HDD or from a website, and you are all sorted! If you cant see that section, then you arent able to upload an avatar yet.

Keep in mind that avatars must be a certain size (100 by 100 pixels or 200kb - whichever is smaller), and it must be in good taste.

Enjoy :).

I must not be able to upload an avatar yet. The only choice is:

Do not use an avatar

Well, if you want to, you can suggest a change to the rules by starting some discussion on the Suggestions forum.
