After talking a bit with Tim Bishop, seems as if custom user avatars were never enabled, well, now they are!
Adding an Avatar:
If you have an image you would like to use for your avatar, here is how you can do do. Assuming you are logged in, you can click on User CP. When there, you will see a link for Edit Avatar. Once there, you should see something similar to this:
What you can then do is, select the
Use Custom Avatar radio button and proceed by either entering the location (url) of the file hosted on the web, or by browsing for the file on your computer.
Avatar Rules and Restrictions:
These rules are subject to change in the future, but for now they will be as follows:
- There will be no usage of annoying animations as an Avatar.
- Avatars must be appropriate, which goes along with the first rule.
- Avatars used will be no greater than 80 x 80. (shouldn't have to worry about this though)
If we find your avatar to break a rule, it will be removed after a notification from us on its removal along with a reason stating why it was removed.
