When one wishes to have a custom avatar, I know the regulations are to have been registered for a year or to have over 500 posts, but is it whichever comes first or whichever comes last? I've been registered for over a year but haven't yet made even 300 posts (slow me).
Can I have a custom avatar and if so how do I do so?
Sorry for being stupid.
"Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman
I believe that the "one year"-part has been disabled now, so you need 500 posts.I'm not entirely sure why it was disabled, but I think it got purged when they updated the boards to the latest version of vbb.
It might be that they've activated it again, for all I know, and in that case, it should be whatever comes first, and you should be able to do it.
I made my custom avatar when I was still able to do so due to my long, faithful membership. I only recently hit the 500-mark.

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
-H. L. Mencken
500 posts in less then a year is quite possible. I have been a member for three months, and I have a post count of about 470.
You can change to a custom avatar by uploading the avatar picture to your account-related thingie at the avatar-selection screen, as soon as it's possible. You can have five avatars altogether in "store" at a time.

Thanx for the tips everyone.
kass, I may have been registered for a year but for at least some of that period I was unable to use the boards due to my ISP going nipples-up.
