I had to wait and get 50 posts but I didn't mind but then it ended right after so I was like... 'Ah well...' and now it is back. This post is worthless. :P

Anyways what I was going to say is.... youa re not too far off. Back when I had to get 50 posts it seems like I was taking forever but oddly I was post shy and I was so unsure what I wnated. Take this time and make sure you pick a great avatar that will have us 'oooing and awwwing'. :) (or not!)

if you want a great avi, pick ANY picture of Bambi (heck, it can be a BIG picture too), and i'll make it fit to the 100 x 100 pixels with better color too! ;) just P.M. :)
i'm not bragging or anything like that...I just feel that people should display any picture they want as their avatar as long as it meets the requirements! :D

Hey wassup Lion King??? Welcome to the forums.

Well, you need to have 50 or more posts in order to be able to use an avatar. But don't worry, 50 posts will be there before you know it. I see you're a Lion King fan aren't you? It's maad good to see more LK fans around like me :D

You'll want to make sure it's within the new size requirements (100 x 100 pixels), though. Yours is currently 125 x 125. Congrats! :)

you need 50 postes(in any part of the forum but Polls & Games) before you get avatar (the pic) and welcome to the ultimatedisney.com forum :) also The maximum dimensions for an avatar was 140 x 140. It will now be 100 pixels by 100 pixels.

This is covered in the Forum FAQ.

Avatars

Post by chaychay102royal »

Why do you have to post fifty messages before you get an avatar? It seems quite cruel really, to see all these people with lovely little pictures and you're stuck looking really plain.

Cruel is a bit harsh, especially if you apparently haven't taken the time to look into the reasoning behind it. There's a little thing called bandwith- which avatars pull from- which costs money. Since there are new members joining here all the time, it makes sense to make a trial period of sorts for that reason. If a member spends a little time here and actually invests in the community (i.e. not making 50 nonsense posts just to get a picture), then they will have earned an avatar. Sure, they are nice, but not really necessary and they shouldn't be anyone's focus. Anyone who puts time and thought into the board will eventually get there. Welcome to UD. :)

Avatar Question

Post by chaychay102royal »

I have a small question about avatar sizes.

I recently have seen this avatar: http://ca.geocities.com/sanderson93/cla ... nimate.gif and I thought it was a great avatar. I say someone on the UD forums using it, but when I tried to make it mine, I was informed that the avatar is too big.

I guess my question is: why can some people use large avatars but others cannot?

If the avatar is larger than the allowed size, then it's being hosted off-site, which you can do as well in your Profile.

Where it says "Link To Off-Site Avatar." Paste the URL of the picture.

Welcome!

You have to have 50 posts before you can get an avatar. I guess that way ultimatedisney.com saves web space by not having to host pictures for people who come, make a few posts, and then never come back again.
