Off Topic: Why no avatars?

[HaskinsElectric]

In the user control panel > avatars, there are no avatars nor can one upload an avatar. Why do some people have avatars yet most don't?

It's a choice to have one, not a requirement.

I imagine the reason that you couldn't have an avatar was because you hadn't posted yet - but I'm not certain.

Welcome to the forum.

Or else he's trying to upload one that's too large? Or in a format that's not recognized?

At the top of this page select FAQ and enter the search word as Avatars.
It will answer your question.

You have to bring your own to the table; we don't serve them up for you. I have changed mine from time to time, but they are always my own photographs. I do not know where anyone else gets theirs.

I have my favorite but I use it on other forums as well (not electrical forums) so I host it on my providers web space and link to it

Apparently the option to upload an avatar does not appear until you've made a few posts.

You're new here, but you'll soon find out, I'm usually right.

I've been getting my posts deleted like crazy, all my posts have been innocuous and low key, but the mods are really having a field day.

 

[George Stolz]

Are you sure? I just looked at your post record and I didn't see any deleted posts...? :-?

Your first two posts (and any others made within an hour or so of them) are invisible until a moderator approves them, to eliminate spam and other garbage. After that, now you should see your posts instantly.

In fact, I even left one duplicate post not deleted so that you'd be shuffled out of the moderation system quicker.

The deleted posts do not appear in the post record.
