How to get an avatar?

[MacintoshMaster]

Hi there,
I want an avatar but in User CP I can't find where I can have one?

 

[EvanLugh]

i think you need 250 posts for an avatar.

Edit: MacDawg beat me to it, i couldn't find the link quick enough it's 500

You can find the answer in the FAQ
It requires 500 posts

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.

You'll need 500 posts before you can treat us to a peek of your avatar.

I don't think anyone has mentioned that you need 500 posts yet.

You have to eat meat.

500lbs worth, to be exact.
No gagging.
No throwing up.
No washing it down with water.

$50 and I'll get you to 500 by the end of the month.

Aww come on J, don't mess with the new-comers. Next thing you know, your PayPal will have $50 more in it, and you'd have access to his account...

Has anyone said that you need 500 posts yet? I'd hate to be redundant. I'm just anal about being redundant. Have you checked the FAQs? I bet they say you need 500 posts. You do need 500 posts, you know.

That is really my point. Ma'ma needs to pay the mortgage.

I'm pretty sure the Forum Rules specifically state you should spam the forum as much as possible to get your post count up. Good luck!

Has MR removed the restriction that vegans can't have avatars?

There never was a restriction, so far as I'm aware - it's just that Vegantars™ are smaller and paler than meat eating 'tars so you've probably just missed them. They do tend to fade into the grey background somewhat...

This is the best "How do I get an avatar?" thread EVER.

It's going to look downright bizarre if the OP ever changes his sig though. Will look as if Jessica is some kind of crazed meat person, then everyone starts bashing vegans for no apparent reason. Personally I hope that happens and some confused Newbie posts on this tread in a year or two.

What contest are we talking about in order to get the avatar earlier? I still have around 200posts to go

 

[Firestar]

You have to eat meat.

That took me the whole day to get.

 

[stevenlangley1]

This is pure win, since I just got done reading the Vegan thread.

Bashing vegans? WTF?
