    Cool Get yourself an avatar [with images]

    There are WAY to many people roaming around the forums without an avatar these days, so I guess you fail at setting up one, for some reason
    Note: New guys ("Registered user") can not have an avatar (really sucks). Maybe we can get this changed, only makes for a worse experience for the rest of us

    Why? Avatars are great: They makes it much simpler to figure out who posted, without having to read the name. Often the name is forgotten, while the an avatar will be recognized (identified with an user). Also the lack of an avatar yells out: "I don't care about this site, I just wanna bot.", and we don't want that do we?

    When I see some avatar I recognize, I think something alĂ  "oh, awesome, <insert name> made a post, could be interesting, I should read it, maybe I can help!"
    When I see a "gray" (one that lacks an avatar) make a post I usually just scroll right past it.


    This really sucks:


    This is awesome:







    So.. This is how you get yourself an avatar:

    1. Open settings




    2. Scroll down to "My Settings", click "Edit avatar"




    3. You are facing several hard choices: Upload from computer | Grab from URL | Predefined avatars




    Get an avatar from Google:
    Open a new tab in your browser, Google a random image from the top of your head, or something you can identify yourself with!


    As you see there's a lot of good stuff there!

    You can also download that image for further usage in the future.




    After this I hope to see everyone having an avatar, making the website seem much more alive!
    PS: Please do mention anyone you see that lacks an avatar in this thread!


    There seems to be a "limit" before you can have an avatar, basically: SRL Member / Donor / possibly some other cups, tho I do see Jr. members with avatars but without any cups
    If you can't upload an avatar, you can try uploading a profile image instead, it might work as an avatar when you have no other option.

    You bloody legend!

    Have been wondering how to do this for a while now lol.

    Are we able to do signatures as well or does that require a certain post count?

    Cheers for updating us on the state of avatars because I was under the assumption we needed to be SRL Member still.

    E: Nice guide btw, simply to read and simple to follow!

    It's the same first step, and then into "Edit Signature" under "My Settings":


    Keep in mind that a big signature is not allowed, it's not supposed to make posts unclear.

    Thanks for the reminder ^^. Do agree that it seems kinda dead when you see people with no icons posting stuff.

    Thanks for the guide; I suck at using forum like websites, this really helped. Sadly I don't see the Edit Avatar button.


    This is what I see nGaEOsF.png I even did ctrl+f to search for the term "Avatar" but that didn't seem to show up either. vwO1dTw.jpg

    Its pretty mean to put me on blast for something I can't do.

    Aha, so I guess there is some limit before you can add an avatar, I sent @Wizzup?; a message earlier, hopefully we can get the criteria reduced (by a lot).

    I just went over the "what's new" page and copied all the usernames that lacked an avatar, no harm intended =)
    I was also assuming that all JR. members had this option, but I see now that not everyone does

    I can't upload anything larger than 50x50 pixels which is way too small to see or enjoy on these forums.

    Pretty disrespectful. We are a group of Alpaca elitists. Not Llamas. What are you even thinking men.

    I have an avatar. It's just too big.

    You always claim it's really big but have no evidence to prove it.

    I knew I never saw this. It's not available on my profile as an option.

    What's the "limit" ?
