Avatar Info?

[Chaos Mage]

Thanks to Alfonso's generous donation, I finally have enough points to get myself an avatar. So I was reading the FAQ on avatars and how to get them, and I went to my "Edit Options" so that I could get one and I came across this message:


"Avatars are small graphical images that you may choose in your profile. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. You can select the image that best describes yourself from your profile options.

Here's the list of currently available avatars:

If you have more than 99999999 posts, you may also specify your own custom avatar."


There are none listed under "currently available" and the required post count for a custom avatar makes it look like maybe the avatar option is not available at this time. Is that the case or is there something that I am doing wrong?

Try using a search engine and typing in Avatars . You should get multiple hits . Just have a look around , pick one you like and download it to your computer using the right click on your mouse and the save as option .
When you've done that go back to the forum shop and click on the browse option in the avatar section .
This will allow you to load the preferred image as your avatar .
You don't need to use avatar sites as many images can be downloaded this way . I recently changed mine to a nearby castle that I found on a travel site .
I hope this has been of help .

You're very welcome Chaos . All this made me change my mind . The castle's been replaced by the Scottish lion rampant , my favourite national flag . Is your's one of your own making , what does it mean ?

Thanks star, that is my good side! :lol:

Nice flag Matt!

Yes, my avatar is my own creation. As you may have noticed, it is basically my signature "Z8" turned up on it's side on a field of seafoam green.

And yes, it does mean something, but it is kind of a long story. In a nutshell, it is a symbol that resulted by combining 6 Norse runes.

Kenaz, Ansuz, Raido, Wunjo, Ehwaz and Mannaz.

My avatar doesn't mean anything... it's just me! :) LOL

I like your avatar, Matt! What a cool flag! My nanna's Scottish, so that makes my dad half-Scottish and me... a quarter Scottish...? I dunno. :P

You all look very nice now, but I will have to turn down the brightness on my computer


One could go blind you know :D :D
