simple queston....how can I set my avatar?

Well the title says it all...how the hell do I go about doing that, I've looked all through my profile and couldn't find an option to.

User Profile\Edit Options

You can pick from the default dredge.

For twenty bucks I can enable custom avatars for you and give you free cable.

you need 200 posts as I recall.

250 apparently. But that's just to upload your own. As Use3D says, you can choose from a bunch of pre-existing ones.

You mean 250 posts. :P

edit: Dammit, how the hell did I miss Grazza's post already mentioning it, I feel like an idiot.

There's nothing a poster can do to just get an avatar. The avatar will just appear for them when they find their special talent.

I can't use one of my own. Apparently having a ? in my name breaks the forum software.
