JohnthePilot Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi, I want to use my own Avatar but can't find out how. On other forums there is an option to upload personal files but here I can only find an option to upload from a URL. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Many thanks.

ex_elec_tech Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It's very odd that the Avatar can't be uploaded as easily as the Personal Photo. This is first forum I've visited that doesn't have that capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacoz Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 @ex_elec_tech I've come across a few in my time. I've always been under the impression it's to do with the additional load on the server having to serve the avatars, when it's quite easy to have people host them offsite. The personal photo's are only accessed if you looks up someone's profile, i.e. fairly rarely, so the load for that is insignificant, compared to almost every message in every thread for the avatars.

This is first forum I've visited that doesn't have that capability. To add to the post above, the vast majority of visitors here either never post or learn what they have to and are gone within a few days - never to be seen again. There's not much point filling LUK's drive with crap that'll never be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
