We don't have a collection of avatars, but you can upload your own/custom avatar. Just go to your User Control Panel (User CP) and click Edit Avatar

Thanks.

I see the post counts now.

I tried to enter an avatar but it won't let me.

The only option is "no avatar selected" and it won't let me un-check that.

Additional:

Under Edit Avatar this is all there is, no option to upload.

[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.]

Where the avatar would be it says " no avatar selected"
The "do not use avatar" radio button is checked.

Hi Rouge,

The avatar worked for me. You should be able to see mine..

Did you try to check the "Use Custom Avatar" button?

Not sure...Maybe it has to do with forum's permissions. I'll try to check and see if we have the forum set to require a certain number of posts, or something like that...

No "use custom avatar" button appears, only "do not use an avatar."

I've looked into this, logged in as "non-admin" and see what you mean...But couldn't find a solution.

Let's see if Mary knows a fix.

Hi guys,

Okay, I'm working on this now. Looks and sounds like the permissions for the users aren't set for the avatars.

Will post here when I am finished.

Okay you guys are all set.

The avatars are set at 125x125 and you can use JPG and Gif images. You may also be able to use ong too.

If you go to your usercp --> Edit Profile Picture

Either enter a URL where the avatar is located, or use the brows button and add it from your desktop.

After you add the link, you should see the avatar where it says "Current profile picture".

If you do not see the avatar, your file size is too big, or the dimenssions are too big. Try a smaller avatar and/or file size.

Hope this helps ...

Mary

I still believe that we are unable to add an avatar. That does work for our profile picture. As for an avatar, the option to select one is completely missing.

Try it again please and let me know if you can upload. That should have taken care of the problem.
