You can't yet Rachie101. You need to be a member for an amount of time. Or have made a number of posts.
I am not sure what the time scale or number needed now. But i am sure some one else will tell you.

You have to have been a member for a set minimum of time or have posted a minimum amount of posts. I can not remember how many but when you qualify you will be able to post a avatar.

Or you could not bother with one, as some of us have it set so that others avatars don't show!

Is that because you have a slow connection.

Nope - Saves seeing pictures of folks kids or pets!

Same with the signatures. Turned off. Its either commercial advertising or nonsense! That way, you get more postings in per screen and need to scroll less!

But if you are the only one doing it. What is the point.

Your serious arn't you. I thought it was just your sense of humour.

Yep! Just post after post all nicely arranged on the screen with no distracting pictures, commercial adverts for posters businesses and no witty (ahem....) signature statements! Just the raw postings! - Much tidier!

Or as admin have called it in the Settings section, "Extraneous clutter"! Perfect description!

I suppose it is irrelevant to the post. But there are some nice and funny Avatars, and the same for signatures.

I can only go on what admin have called it. It doesnt say "tick here to remove nice and funny avatars / signatures" it says (something along the lines of) "tick here to remove extraneous clutter"!

As others have said you do need to be a member here and/or have posted in order to have an Avatar.

Your best bet is to read the rules and regs at the top of the forum.


I'd ignore Orkneycadian who is obviously a Caithness wannabee.

Can't you change your settings so that you cannot see the Haar?

I bet you sneak a look now......;)

Well, closing the curtains seems to work! Bait dark in the house though.....

I think the chances of a sneak peek are slim.....!

You need to have 20 odd posts to have a an avater. Once your status as ne member changed to .orger you can have your avater.

I was just wondering the same thing, How do I get an avatar on here......well there was no mention of time/post kid gloves stuff in edit profile so i had to do a search, and after reading this post I can see some people turn it all off anyway so they can read a bori...(ahem) tidy page.

Its a tough old world - Consider it good practice in case you ever want to find out anything thats on the web or in e Org!
