Avatar help

Just want to clarify---are only certain people able to have custom avatars? I am not complaining, just wanted clarification.

Thank you so much!

I believe at this time, only moderators have this option. But will check with Jeff when I can.

Thank you. It really isn't a big deal. I was just curious. :)

Like the little doggies I have sticking out of the pickup truck picture by my name?

If that is what you mean, I think you can get it on the CPanel.

Now, a specialized avatar, I'm sure that's another story... and probably most definitely meant for moderators...

I had the HARDEST time figuring that out....

And then ended up on my cpanel for some reason, and there they were!

But, if you mean something different, I dunno. :).

It is SO hard for me to tell, because what I see is different from what you see, I tried to get a trainer last week to customize her avatar... and she kept saying she did not see an option available in the CP... :dontknow: I dunno... will let Jeff, Lisa or Casey handle this one. :thinkingabout:

Here is what that cute little trainer friend of mine (aka Kayla :D )said:


Here's the deal: We CAN change our profile picture, (mine is my logo) but not our avatar! I also don't know how to put a picture in my sig line like yours. shurg, oh well! THANK

I know you can not put the pic in the sig line.. I did that from the moderator side... So go to your user CP and click on edit profile pic...

Yes, you picked the doggies from the list given to pick from. I don't think there is an option for us to upload a custom avatar. That was my question. Really, it isn't a big deal, I was just wondering.

Here is what we see (well, sort of---the formatting changes when I copy and paste):

Your Current Avatar No Avatar Specified Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Do not use an avatar
Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.
Pre-defined Animals Avatar Category:
Animals (53 avatars) Nature (32 avatars) Tux (60 avatars) Tux_2 (68 avatars) Tux_3 (64 avatars) Tux_4 (69 avatars) You may select one of the following pre-defined images to use as your avatar: http://forum.t-tapp.com/images/avatars/Animals/001.jpg

On other forums I have been on, there is also a setting called "custom avatar." I thought there was that option here as well, and then when I went to my CP tonight to look, that option didn't seem to be there. That is why I asked---it wasn't really because I was dying to have my own avatar. I also hope it doesn't sound like I am complaining---I truly am not---just asking a question.

Yes, I believe Kayla the cute is correct.

Custom avatars are just for moderators and trainers, from what I understand, to be offered to others as a *purchase*

using experience points, as currency, at some time in the future.

[monica213]

Yes, you can not have a custom avatar, but you can upload a custom profile picture

[bevibrant]

Custom avatars are acutally not available to trainers either...guess we'll all have to post lots and be helpful if we want one in the future! ;):D

Ok. Thanks for the answer. :)

So that's why my uploaded photo doesn't show up with my posts. And I thought I am not doing something right.
