It seems avatars are back...however, I'm unable to add one. :confused:I seem to have the right "credentials"...

You hit the 500 mark today I see, and sometimes it takes up to 24 hours before the servers refresh and allows you to add the 'tar.

From the FAQ:

How do I set my avatar?
Avatars are small images that display alongside a user's name. This is a feature that is reserved for established users on the MacRumors Forums. We require a 500 post minimum (user title 6502a or higher) before you are given the opportunity to upload your own custom avatar. A few users were given avatar privileges before this milestone because they won a forum contest.

Once you reach 500 posts you may not immediately be able to upload an avatar. The privilege is added automatically when the forum system does routine processing, so check again in a few hours. The delay is normal so please do not contact us to report it as a problem on the same day that you reach 500 posts.
 
The avatars have come back without the proper spacing/cellpadding above them. It sits too close to the user title text (or in my case, the ribbon).

I was just about to come and start a topic about this; I'm glad I noticed this thread and your post. iBlue is right, the gap between the user title and the avatar is definitely smaller than it used to be and it looks a little strange.

I agree. The spacing was larger before. Like this:
