Sorry - custom avatars are not allowed.

There is, however, the more customisable URL avatar system. These larger avatars are turned off by default, although can be enabled here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/profile.php?do=editoptions) in your UserCP's "Options" section.

Firstly scroll down till you see the "Thread Display Options" section.

In that area, you should find a section identified as "Display URL Avatar". Fill the checkbox, and then scroll down to find the "Save Changes" button.

Bear in mind that you don't have to enable URL avatars to upload and/or use one.

To select/upload an URL avatar, go to your UserCP's "Profile" section (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/profile.php?do=editprofile).

Scroll down till you see the "Additional Information" category.

In that area you should find a section labelled "URL Avatar". Click on the link (http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pics/avatars/) to select an avatar from the gallery. You can then copy and paste the file path displayed into the "URL Avatar" field. Then select save to continue.

Alternatively, click here (http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Uploaders/uaupload.php) to upload an avatar of your choice to the gallery. Bear in mind that it must be in keeping with avatars already in the URL avatar gallery for it to be accepted and for you to be able to gain permission to use it.

As a general rule, it must be around about 96x142 pixels and have the same theme as a period which any TW game, released or unreleased, encompasses. These periods are limited to Mid-Late Classical, Dark Ages/Medieval, Sengoku Japanese or Napoleonic Times.

After you have uploaded your avatar it needs to be approved by the administration, who will verify that it is suitable and fits the mentioned guidelines. To inform him of the upload, you will need to send him a private message. To do this, click here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/private.php?do=newpm&u=6381).

Good luck ~:)
