How do you put an avatar next to your name? I am probably too dumb, but even after reading FAQ about avatars I couldn't get it. Help!
If I remember right you have to have so many post (50 maybe?) and have been on here for 30 days. This question was brought up about a week ago so I'm sure someone can let you know for sure.
You can post one of the prelisted ones as soon as you join by going to "quick links", then "user control panel". Once there, you'll see a menu on the left. There is an "edit avatar" option in that menu. Pick one from the pictures there. Once you have 50 posts and have been here more than 30 days, you can upload your own avatar.
