Avatar?
How do I make my Avatar?
I tried going through UserCP but I couldn't find it.

Check on Edit Avatar and make sure you click the right buttons (hard to describe so you will have to look it over). I'm not as talanted as most on this site...mine is simply a photograph I had on my computer. Didn't notice if you had a silver star when I responded but if not you probably have to pony up the $20 to Woody in order to have an avatar. Good cruiser karma and allows you to interact with us so much more anyways.Check your search function in the Help Section as many have asked this same questions. Good luck! Dave
Oh I forgot  (official site welcome)

I have the 10 post minimum, yet Edit Avatar does not show up in my CP anywhere. I went to the FAQ and found highlighted Edit Avatar, but it doesn't have an option. It just has a blue dot and says "don't upload avatar". How much time does it take to kick in?
Apparently it takes 11 posts. lol. Just after I posted this, it opened the option.

That is good to know. I kept going to the FAQ to get to the "Edit Avatar". It was the only way it showed up. But it wouldn't let me do it.

No, I've tried with a number of 'em... Maybe I'll try a smaller size and see if that changes anything...

they 'do' need to be sized correctly from the get-go, or it'll only resize the first image and lose the rest....

if you avatar is not properly sized when you upload, it gets resized AND the animation goes away....

I wasted an hour+ trying to find the "upload avitar" function before finding this thread. Would be good to explain the qualifications rule on this up front. Or maybe time spent on the CP should count towards the avitar piggybank.
