I wish to use a custom avatar

[Mithridate]

First of: I have searched, google, forum and mindless browsing and not found neither aid or confirmation so please humor me

Ive got over the 500 post limit, and 4 months hinted by old archived stuff but i cannot find how to upload and use a custom avatar.
The picture is very small being a drawn one and i can even modify it down even to fit the standard avatars of some 3kb 50x70 if i have to

Unmodified its some 250x250 30kb

Could someone guide me to a moderator whom can set me up if thats still the case, or link me where i should be?
Im an active hotseat player and intend to keep spending a long time here, doing so with my avatar would be... nice

Thank you

To turn on Custom avatars, you upload a Profile Picture (which you already have done)


then under General Settings, you tick this box.


If you want to turn off the current theme avatars at the same time, you untick this box.


And the results should look like this if you used both options:

Custom Avatars are an opt-in feature on the forum.

This was during the ol' days where forums and websites were constricted by connection usage and bling-bling heavy avatars slowed the loading of websites down. This ended up leading to a great tradition where TotalWar avatars were only used, bringing a nice atmosphere to this place, one a great many people do not want to upset, considering over the years, everything on this website has changed, except for this one thing.

It is also something I am also personally against changing. The current system is fine and you can indeed have custom avatars which was added a couple of years ago as a feature on the forum. I agree this could have been stickied some where and this hasn't been done or this system should be simplied, either way I have provided all the details in the second post how this is achieved so an admin can feel free to use that if they desire.

But this only displays my profile pic, and does so only for thise whom have crossed in the options you showed. You for example have a real photo as profile pic, but an animated avatar of a rabbit. So im still stuck with the Young western general dude as my avatar :( How did you get the animated rabbit over the stock photos in simple?

( the reason two pictures are shown is because ive checked all three options under thread display options )

Can you post or PM me the avatar you want to use?

Exactly, have 'Avatars' un-ticked/turned off if you want to remove the bottom rabbit.

But then i still do not use a custom avatar, i only view profile pics instead.
I view both Profile pic and avatar as you saw.

To clarify, i wish to use a custom avatar not simply display profile myself.

Throwing a PM to Andras to see if he can aid me
