    Hello, Ive made my own avatar i want to use it as my avatar, but do I have to upload it in the http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Up...s/uaupload.php ?

    The generic avatar (the small rectangle with the Hastati for me) is chosen from a pre-determined list.

    The URL avatar is more open, but many users have it set though they can't see them (me included). I can't help you about guidelines for the URL one.

    Hey divinelight.

    First of all, welcome

    URL avatars are more open, but the smaller avatar has to be picked from a list, as pever said. However, some members (like myself) have an avatar that has been slightly modified. You have to ask TosaInu (the forum Admin, his pm box is always open for members, but he's a busy man, so might take a while before you get a reply) first, of course, and the rules are still kinda strict on it (has to remain TW related and needs to resemble one of the predetermined avatars), but if you like to give your avatar a personal touch, you can always try slightly changing one of the pre-set ones you like and PM it to Tosa (no guarantee that he allows it, but you never know, if he likes it, you'll have an avatar with a personal touch).

    Ja mata, TosaInu

    Off the top of your head, how many current members have (would have if they werent moderators) customised/unique normal avatars?

    I can only think of yours, your old robed one and Sigurds non-robed one.

    Oh yes, I forgot one of the most important conditions. You have to be handsome, succesful, very special, highly intelligent and totally awesome to get a unique avatar

    Having seen a photo of you, how much was the bribe to avoid those requirements?

    ... and Sigurds non-robed one.
    Sigurd unrobed? Now that's scary ... I'm afraid I'll have to vote against custom avatars if everyone is going to start running around sans toga.

    Welcome to the Org, divinelight.
    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    When it was pointed out to him that for a big, longhaired, scary viking he wasn't... well, that "big", Sigurd promptly bribed Tosa to be allowed to wear robes that covered all. Not that there was much to cover, mind you.
