OT: Allowable websites for avatars

npiper17 · Post #1 » by **npiper17** » Thu Sep 29, 2016 8:07 pm

Wondering if anyone can help with this.

For some reason my avatar has disappeared and having visited a number of sites to try to get a new one, RealGM says all the sites I've tried are not allowed. So my question is, does anyone know of a website that has avatars that are allowed?

Thanks in advance!

You can download any pic you would like to use as your avi, and then upload it to a hosting site like tinypic.com

Was wondering the same thing. I tried Tinypic.com but the website isn't working.

Try https://postimage.org/ or any image hosting site, make sure you choose the right size (avatar)

Tried this one and I was able to upload and chose Avatar but when I go put in the link on this site I get a note about using approved sites. Apparently postimage.org is not allowed.

Use that.

Make sure it's just the link (example, mine is: http://i.imgur.com/EzRljp7.png) -- then put 100 x 100 for the limits. Make sure it's a picture that is able to be 100 x 100 and looks good as that.

Thanks for the help guys.

So, just to check, there are no sites that just have avatars on there that you can use without uploading your own picture?

I don't think so, you're always going to have to download it and then upload it.

Imgur has some random pics you can browse through if thats what you mean.

photobucket.com is free up to certain mb transfer but I never had a problem just having my AV and Sig up there as they are small files. As far as creating your own AV/Sig, many here may be willing to help.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll have a browse and see what there is. Might ask for help in making one if I can't find anything. Thanks again.
