SLY Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hi, I'm brand new here, so please excuse the lack of protocol. Can someone kindly grant me permission to change the avatar on my profile? Or do we need to be a member for a certain number of days first? Thanks! - sly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only works for users who have been here long enough (time and/or posts). Newer users cannot change their avatar. An administrator will need to grant permission to @SLY, or they will have to wait a few days and have more forum activity.

weegiegrum Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Ah, my bad sorry. It seemed to work for me early enough, but I had made a couple or three posts by then.

SLY Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 @walt.farrell » Thanks! That's what I was wondering. @weegiegram » (Respectfully) I do know how to change my profile setting, but it wouldn't allow me to, and I figured there must be some kind of restrictions. Thanks, both!

jmwellborn Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Welcome to the Forums, @SLY 😊 Possibly with a few more postings you will be able to change your avatar. Perhaps you will be able to find some interesting posts in the Share Your Work or Resources sections that will elicit honest comments from you. 🤗 SLY 1 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

Alfred Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Just now, awakenedbyowls said: Which according to my estimations is > 3 days? According to mine, too! But you wrote “4 days and counting”, so I thought it relevant to point out that it wasn’t quite 4 days. I see that I posted something in early February about needing a minimum of 4 posts and 3 days. That may have been the wrong way around or completely incorrect, or the criteria may have been changed in the meantime. If it was simply the wrong way around (i.e. if it should have been 3 posts and 4 days) then you will be able to change your avatar now.

I posted this just after the time I joined on Monday though just in case it was 4 days? but perhaps my avatar separation anxiety was a tad premature.

Mortimer Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Everyone is posting about "changing" the Avatar; I still can't figure out how to get one on my profile. Any suggestions? Am I on probation since I just got here yesterday? (that one I could accept; means it ain't my fault) OR could it possibly be that this 69 year old retiree who is getting lazier by the minute just plain overlooked the procedure. (that one I can accept, but I'd have to deny it in public.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
