Custom Avatars
You need to have made 101 posts in order to add a custom made avatar. The size limit for an avatar is 100 x 100 pixels and a maximum of 39,1 bytes. Once you have reached 101 posts, an option to upload a custom avatar from your computer will be added (it may take up to 24 hours for this to start) in your User CP page in the edit avatar section. When you upload a new avatar, it can take up to an hour for you or others to be able to see it. It's because custom avatars are only uploaded to one server initially and it takes time for it to be copied to the other server (whenever you connect to Fan Forum - TV Shows, Music, Movies, Female Celebrities, Male Celebrities, Spoilers, & More... now, you can end up on either of the two servers).

FAQ

Q: How do I add an avatar?
1. Go to 'USER CP'
2. Go to 'Edit Avatar'
3. Upload your avatar.
4. Click 'Save changes'.

Q: I have 101 posts but there's no option to add a custom avatar. What's the problem?
A: It can take up to 24 hours for the option to show up, but it will be there eventually.

Q: Where can I find avatars to use, if I can't/don't want to make them myself?
A: There are usually threads for avatars on each individual board, but you can also find some on the Icons, Mood Themes, and Avatars Thread (for ready made Avatars) or the Requests Thread (where you can Request a specific Avatar) on the Fan Art Board. On that board you'll also be able to find a Tutorials thread where you can find guidelines to help you make your own avatar.

Q: Do I have to give credit to the person who made the avatar?
A: It is common courtesy to credit the person who made the avatar you are using in your signature. It is not an actual rule, but most people do it any way.

Q: How big can my avatar be?
A: an avatar can be 100 x 100 pixels or 39.1 KB (whichever is smaller)

Q: The avatar I want to use is too big with regards to the file size that allows. Is there anything I can do?
A: Yes. You can try crunching it here or here. Simply save the avatar to your computer and upload it into the appropriate cruncher and it will provide a smaller file.

Q: Can I use a non-custom avatar before I have 101 posts?
A: Yes, there is a selection of default avatars available for new posters.

Q: Is there anything that is not allowed in an avatar?
A: Avatars should be PG-13, just like the rest of the content on Fan Forum. This means no nudity or explicit violence. Also, if a word gets censored when you try to post it, you shouldn't use that word in an avatar either.

Q: What file types can my avatar be?
A: will only accept the following file types:

• .jpeg
• .png
• .gif

If you would like to use an avatar that is not one of the aforementioned three, try visiting the Image Converter at PictureResize to convert the image for free.

If you have any other questions, please ask them on this thread!

TFTNT Effie!

Chris

Thanks for getting this restarted Effie.

Tina

Thanks Effie.

I like seeing all the subjects in the OP, it means there's a lot of avatars to choose from!

your creation

No problem girls

And yes Tina, there really is!

your creation

I actually used this the other day

Tina

Effie. Lately, for the past couple months, that's all I've been using. Standard avatars. There's nothing wrong that that!

your creation

Oh I meant the info, I needed to figure out why my icon wouldn't upload.

But yes, the standard avis are great and no reason not to use them!

your creation

Just bringing this back now.

Tina

I have uploaded Hilary Duff, Alcatraz, and The Lying Game.

However, for me, I can't see them. If others can't either, I'll probably give Rachel a PM. Let me know.

your creation

I just see the broken image link Tina

Chris

I'm just seeing broken image links too.

Thanks Tina.

Tina

Thanks Effie and Chris. I'll send Rachel a PM.

your creation

I look forward to seeing them properly

Jenny's Dimple

Can't wait to see them properly Tina
