Custom Avatar???
How do I go about putting a custom Avatar in place of the standard choices?
Also, do I need to have it out on a server somewhere or can the image sit on my Hard Drive?
Thanks
Spoot

1. Wrong forum.
2. You can have a custom avatar after 500 posts.

If you have over 500 posts, go into your control panel and select edit options... then select change avatar.
If you don't have 500, you can only select one of those that are shown on the many available pages.
If you have over 500, go to the bottom of the page and either provide a URL of what you wish to use, or you can hit browse and select a file off of your hard drive.
However, remember there are size limitations, so you may have to play with your image using a program like MS Paint to get the size right before it will be excepted.

Thanks for the help.
Well I have ways to go as I have 10 posts total!
Sure does encourage spamming! 
I guess I will get to use a custom o, about 2006 sometime!

technically, it took me about 4 months - but I only started posting in earnest 2 months after I joined, so really it only took 2 months

I managed to get in my custom avatar before the 1-year rule was revoked. I couldn't change it afterwards, though.

I got mine in about 3 month's, and there wasn't an ounce of spam in my posts.

I had to post On-Topic for the first time in my life to get one.
Back then the minimum was 1,000 posts and I had almost 900 then.

Hmmm... I think it took me 3-4 months to reach 500 posts in the Civ II, III and Poly/Commune forums.

In case you were wondering:
The avatar image restrictions are it must be smaller than 80x80, and less than 10,000 bytes.

T.S. Sorry, but I'm not Ming II or Ming's DL as someone might now believe.  And I don't have a banning rod. 
I have now been moderating the Stella Polaris forum in the Alternative Civs/Other Games category for the last 27 hours. And that was stated earlier today (EST) here in the Apolyton/Community forum.

I am here for over two years and I still haven't got an avatar. I sense a conspiracy against me.

Ras, you certainly are a posting machine, but why do you only have 1.6 posts/day in your profile?

Demo game = democracy game. There are currently 3 going on in the civ2, civ3, and SMAC forums. They all have their own seperate subforums, so just go and check it out.

At the rate I'm going, I should be an Emperor in about 40 days.
The Civ3 forum when the game first came out was a goldmine, it didn't take too long to get a custom avatar then.

I was one of those people who explioted the Civ3 forum. I got like 50 posts a day out of that. Then I got bored of that. I did do 230 posts in one day one time though.

Well, I made a thread there and it was closed so I didn't visit it again... Anyway I don't feel like discussing civ3.
rather bashing it.

When I started out no-one had avatars. Newbies can't expect to get a custom avatar straight away, they need to suffer like everyone has. 
*Hope no-one mentions that the OT posts counted back then*
