How do I get an avatar?

Probably the wrong place to ask, but here goes..

What is the deal on uploading an avatar ... seeking the magic hand shake or qualification needed?

You need 500 posts.
The FAQ has a lot of information about almost all aspects of this message board: https://macrumors.zendesk.com/hc/en-us#How_do_I_set_my_avatar.3F

Btw, Site and Forum Feedback (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/site-and-forum-feedback.66/) is the proper place to ask such questions and discuss the "harsh" rule of having 500 "****ing" posts to have an avatar.
