I noticed that some people have unique avatars that were uploaded. I was wondering how this was done.

If you go into the 'User CP' (top left of the forums - User CP/Forum Rules/Blogs/FAQs etc,.) there's a couple of options on the left, 'Edit Profile Pic' (under 'Your Profile') and 'Edit Avatar' (under 'Settings & Options'). You can upload pics in there (for the profile and avatar respectively!

However, I think there might be a number of posts you have to have posted before those options become live. So join in a few discussions and they should appear!!! ;)

Thank you! I think I do remember something about having to post a certain amount to be able to do certain things.

yep, once you're past your 25th post you've got full access to avatars

The title of this thread caught my eye since I was wondering when my own avatar would show up. Apparently, 25 is the magic number for lots more goodies (such as groups, avatars, & more).

Count back 8 or 9 post;s to "Why Christmas" and that will explain how to get your avatar. :rudolph:

I have had an avatar of my choosing picked since I joined a year ago, and it didn't show up even after 25 posts. Though, today it is working . . . whoo hoo! :rudolph:

I noticed that some people here have animated avatars, something I've never been able to make work. When I try it, the avatar is frozen at one of the images. Could someone give me simple steps on how to do this? I'm using a Mac computer, if that's any difference.

This is the animated avatar I'd like to use. (http://www.iconator.com/download.php?IconID=1732147)
