Profile avatar

[Po0ka]

Just a question like that, i tried setting my avatar in my profile and the only option i see is "Do not use an avatar [o]" but no choice to change anything... It's kinda frustrating :c

Any why i can't? Do i need more post counts or something?

Welcome to the forums!

It's basically a security measure; new users don't get any of the more advanced privileges such as avatars, signatures, etc. until they've been vetted by the moderation staff as not being a spambot or other such thing. Once you've had five posts approved by us, then you should be able to access those features.

Anyway, feel free to make yourself at home. Don't be afraid to ask questions or jump into an existing discussion that catches your fancy.

Welcome to the board! As Spec stated above, it is a security measure. At any rate, welcome aboard

I was wondering the same thing myself. Usually the capcha catches the spambots but I haven't ran a forum in a while so maybe the authors are getting more clever.

Why 5 posts, doesn't that seem a little excessive just to throw a picture up? I always pick a forum name that goes with a picture, I'm a little disappointed that I can't use it. I've been using (and fixing) the internet since 1992, and this is literally the first forum I've encountered that does this.

Is it bad form to ask for an avatar now?

[Vanamonde]

Voculus, your account status should have changed by now, and you should be able to customize your profile. Are you reporting that you still can't change the avatar?

[Voculus]

Whoops! I was looking at my Profile, and not Settings. All is well. Thanks!

Sooooo... is it five post for my account to be verified? I guess I'm 4 posts away from that right?

No problem anyway, I'll start my discussion eventually and wait for these privilges.

Good rocketing everybody
