Avatar on Lit?

100 posts

You need 100 posts before the option to have an avatar is enabled. Read the sticky at the top of the forum.

Yup. Avatars are covered in post #4 of the FAQ Sticky.
 
I'm glad someone asked; I was wondering myself how many posts it takes. I've uploaded on, but I was right in assuming it wouldn't show until I reached a certain threshhold. (It's going to be of two cartoon penguins doing it doggie style).

Two points:

1: The picture you have uploaded is your profile picture and is NOT your avatar. They are two separate databases and the size limitations for each are different.

2: the picture you have uploaded is 100x100 pixels which is smaller than either the avatar or profile picture's upper dimension limits; An avatar can be 150x150 pixels and a profile picture can be 250x250 pixels. If you have a larger original of the picture, you should resize it to the maximum dimensions permitted to allow for the best display of your images.

ETA attachment: I'd also recommend cropping the image to eliminate excess background when turning it into an avatar. the attachment is avatar sized but would be better quality if I could have reduced instead of expanded it after cropping.

Thanks Harold. I'm glad I still had the original BMP file.
