How do you upload your own avatar?

[Katman]

Post 100 times or more.

As a side note, it isn't an invitation to go on a rabid posting frenzy, as others have done upon learning this. Content in posts is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

[D'Artagnan1673]

yes, it is. Thats number 1666 for me!

[Grey]

Thats a hell lot of posts to continue from.

100 posts? that's silly...we should all be able to upload our own avatars at any time we want.

[FlamingDeth]

D'art: You sir make a very compelling arguement!

Kismet: Not necessarily upload...perhaps the ability to link offsite would be in order, though.

I think when you link in offsite the forum actually downloads a copy of it, so that the pages for the posts won't take ages to download if the server that hosts the avatar breaks down.

Also, I think the limit on 100 posts is done so that people who get an id but don't continue posting before getting to 100 posts don't eat up too much space on the server with custom avatars that are not being used anymore.

Veeco...that actually makes a bunch of sense. I will quit my complaining, then. I'll get 100 posts soon enough.
