full member and avatar

I logged on today and saw that I had access to a few more boards, one of those being Members Playground and a thread called "Got an avatar? So do a few hundred others..." said I should now be able to have an avatar.

Hooray!

Except when I went to my User CP, there were no avatars available (since I can't yet use a custom one).

All it had was a Change Avatar button which after clicked said thank you for updating your profile.

Any ideas?

The avatar option will appear eventually, but may not coincide with your increased board access. Enjoy the rest of TFP!

You will never speak of those rituals again, if you do, we will come and remove your nose hairs, one by one with a slow painful tug. Just kidding, enjoy you're new found boards.

The best way to be able to get all the neat stuff avators etc. Has nothing to do with post count.

If you just post for the sake of posts, you lose out on so much.

Look at this place as a real community that gives you the luxury of being as ineverted or exeverted as you like and in the same time build a good foundation of friends and information.

If you keep on feeding into the community in a fun positive way you will discover that thread count has nothing to do with the rewards that you receive.
Instead you will just lift your head up one day and be like oh shit I can put that picture of barbie up now.

Just you know I am not singaling anyone out, just posting my experience.. minus the Barbie pic lol

It's probably one of the effects of the switch. Hal is doing his best to keep up with any problems associated with the switch and it should all be resolved with a little patience.

Another Packer fan here.. we're starting to outnumber you.

And somehow I think we'll be the ones doing the taunting. Farve'll wanna go out on a good note.

Anyways, that's for another area of the site. I just had to let you know that your avatar sucks

I have talked about this on Tilted Support, but still have the problem. I have plenty of posts for an avatar, in fact I used to have one, but when I tried to change it, all that happened was I lost mine, and can't get another...Guess it will get straightened our sooner or later...

Don't let it torture you, tiltedbc. I was really anticipating hitting the 250 mark. As I got closer I started picking out my avatar and, even more, looking forward to the great conversation in the new forums.

This will be post 276, and I would consider myself a pretty good member of the community. Yet I have no avatar and no extra access. It was all very disheartening for a while. All that buildup and then... Nothing. I'm getting over it, but it still sometimes bothers me. Last night I actually had a dream that I had access to the new forums (does that mean I'm here too much if I actually dream about the place?).

Anyway, if there were never any avatars or member forums, I would still post. (Obviously, since I'm still posting.) I would recommend to all the newbies that you simply embrace the community. If you're just looking to get an avatar, you're not going to get much out of the TFP. But if you really sit down and take the time to read what some of your fellow members have to say, it will hook you like it did me.

Every day after I check the boards, I feel like I'm smarter than I was before. Not just smarter, I feel like I'm a better person. The anonymity provided by this format creates an incredible degree of honesty. It's conversation like you can have almost nowhere else. Embrace it.

I also went to my profile to add an avatar, yet, the radio button did not turn off (the one saying no avatar). I am confused. I suppose there is a thread that explains all this. IF so, it isn't readily evident. So what's the deal? is there a reward system for number of posts? Why not make avatars avail immediately upon registration.

Not just confused, bordering on frustrated...


hmmm i just paged ALLL the way up through this thread, and managed to find references to a post requirement of 250 to get an avatar. Well at least now i know.

damn I shoulda replied to my own post instead of editing, that would have upped my count by one post!

sure aint easy!

Yeah...and I like to believe that I'd actually have a shot at Alyson Hanigan.

Ok...let's run your stats through the Post-O-Matic here. Bear with me, sometimes this takes awhile. dumdadumdeedumdum. Ah...here we go. Ohhh...11 quality posts. Well, what can ya do?




Now...I do hope that guys know that I'm just screwing around here...right?

I think its pretty kewl that not everything rests on thread count alone. I have been on so many other boards where members post all day and night just to get their counts up. In just a few days of serious involvement on these boards, I can honestly feel the sense of community. Its great how people can disagree without getting jumped on by 10 other members.

Yes indeed, this board is the most mature in that and in many other aspects than any other board I have visited.

It's the only reason I stay here, the sense of being able to speak your mind thoughtfully without people getting irratable at the first comment you make.
