VileSlay Posted September 18, 2002 not sure if this is the proper place for the question, but what are the rules regarding custom avatars? I just want to know what the max size is and if animations are acceptable. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted September 18, 2002 Max size: 36x36 Animation: Yes, it's acceptable, judging from some of the avatars I've seen. Posts required to allow the user to acquire custom avatar: Bah, can't remember - ling got me all confused because he seemed to change it back and forth at some point. It's either at 250 posts, 500 posts or 1000 posts. I think it was 250 posts last I heard, but don't take my word for it. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted September 18, 2002 It's 250 posts, but you can't upload avatars directly, you have to upload the pic to another place (eg. your own site if you have one) and put its url into the box. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted September 18, 2002 It's 250 posts, and yes you can use animations, as long as the size of the picture is less than 20 KB. 0 Share this post Link to post

Use Posted September 18, 2002 yes i happy to finally reach over 250 posts to get my own avatar. I have several now and will alternate them every month or so. Currently mine is the cover of a single by Front 242, one of my favorite electronic bands! now about that title... 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted September 18, 2002 Don't go looking for a custom title. You'll almost certainly find it 0 Share this post Link to post

Torn Posted September 18, 2002 My fish avatar is boring... I like to have a bone fish avatar... :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted September 18, 2002 If you think yours is boring, mine was the typical Lost Soul on a white background (I'm kind of surprised that no one else seemed to be using it) for nearly a month before I reached 250 posts and switched to this Blood Lich picture. Still, it will be very satisfying to reach that 250 post mark and instantly gain the ability to use just about any picture that you can imagine or create (within reason of course). And as for titles... Be careful what you wish for. Just ask Gatewatcher. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted September 18, 2002 Mine wasn't too bad (the green marine with chaingun), but once I made it to 250, I decided to use the green key I made for my forthcoming project. (as I wanted something small that I had made, and it's the first time I've dabbled in sprite editing) 0 Share this post Link to post
Russell_P Posted September 19, 2002 Oh dear. I have many, many posts to make before I can even consider what I might use for an avatar. Still, thats one less post to go now. ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
Russell_P Posted September 19, 2002 I've just noticed my title has changed. Is this a standard title or have i somehow 'aquired' it(heh)? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted September 19, 2002 It's a standard title for when you have between 30 and 49 posts. Next you will be a Mini-Member. 0 Share this post Link to post
CyRaptor Posted September 19, 2002 I already made an avatar I want to use when/if i get to 250 posts... I'm only like halfway there though. Meh. Oh, and it's a fish. Please don't hurt me. 0 Share this post Link to post

VileSlay Posted September 19, 2002 hey thanks for all the info. as you can see I came up with something real quick-like. I got it from a sprite sheet of the BoH drawn in old-school mega-man style. I actually want to have him shooting a fireball, but don't know how to make an animated gif from a sprite sheet. 0 Share this post Link to post
