posting an AV, wtf?

[amraam840]

when I joined lit I tried making a custom avatar and after following a few links I found somewhere that said I have to have 100 or so posts for this... I finally got 100 and can't find how to post a custom av, or even find the links that were there earlier... what's more is I see some people with only 60 or 80 posts with av's.

who here in lit can help a noob?

Try this thread.

I had a little trouble getting this too, at first. But I eventually got the custom av option to show up. Not that I've put up my av yet. . .

Hope you get your av up soon!

patience, noob. Most people don't check this forum more than once an hour or so. 16 minutes is nothing to get impatient about -- It may be a full day before someone with an answer sees your post.

The people avatars and fewer than 100 posts caught the right point in the in the conversion to a new version of the software before Lit's custom user levels were loaded. (Same thing for people with custom titles and fewer than 1,000 posts.)

They're stuck with the avatar they have or none until they reach 100 posts because if they try to change it they'll only have the delete current avatar option.

This new software has some quirk that causes a delay in the options a new post level enables. I havent been able to get anyone with your problem to explain what they did to correct the problem. As far as I know, refreshing the edit options page should be all that is required if there is anything the user can do to force the nw options to show up.

However, there may be a "maintenance event" to change the access levels to match the post total, in which case ther eis nothing you can do but wait for an hour to a day for the mintenance process to do it's job.

I see you have an av already, so I am not really worried about answering your question, but I recently earned mine and went searching for the threads on how to establish it and what not. I couldn't do it right after i had hit post 100 even though someone said it should just pop up. You have to close out of your browser and open a new one and then come back here, and that option should be available. But again this is only for people that are searching for how to do it.
