How come I can't post one? Do I need to be a PAID subscriber??

You shouldn't be having any trouble...anyone can have an avatar.

What happens when you try?

Ray is right, any member can have an avatar. The settings can be found in your Control Panel.

I thought I would help out and give you one. What do you think?????

If you have a picture in mind, I can set it up for you

I have gone to my control panel..got to the avatar section. In my "little box" on the left there is NO picture. I have clicked the box,and NOTHING. I cannot add or delete anything.

I think Sliver0835 is trying to make and apply a personal Avatar. I also use to have one I uploaded, but it disappeared when the premium membership were offered. It now looks like a person must be a premium member to have a personal avatar.

Also having this same problem, Wanted to change mine to something else. But found out i could only change to the preloaded ones listed, Didn't see the option of uploading my own. Any ideas?

I'll give you a tutorial first, failing that, I'll get you to e-mail me a pic and I'll set it up for you.

First go to user cp and click the grey "USER CONTROL PANEL"

From there click "Edit Avatar"

Your screen should look like this.

At this point you should open up an online photo hosting account, such as photobucket. It is free and easy to use and will allow you to edit your pictures which is usually needed to edit the size of the picture. Once you have your picture uploaded to photobucket, you need to click the direct link, which is the second option, as pictured.

Go back to the edit avatar page, clear the http... that is already there, and paste the link, (box circled in red).

Click save changes and see what happens. It may come back saying the target file is too big. If that happens you will have to use photobucket's editing software to resize the picture. You will have to make it just a little bigger then the smallest size.

If this does not work, let me know and I can set it up for you. Feel free to ask any questions you like.

The custom avatar issue should be fixed now.

My apologies, I made an incorrect setting when building the Premium Membership. This membership offers the ability to upload Custom Animated Avatars but Registered Users should have the ability to upload Non-Animated Custom Avatars.
