Do you need a certain amount of posts before you can add an avatar to your ID?
Thx
Hi and welcome to Nomad! I think it is once you are not a newbie? The host here is Doug 'BajaNomad' who you can ask or get help from.
There is a FAQ link at the top of the page. This is the answer for avatar:
How do I get my own picture (avatar) under my name?
Again in your profile there is a place for an 'Avatar' and avatar is the image under your name. Check with your Admin about the size of your avatar,
it's usually considered common courtesy to use one under 150 pixels wide. vespaio - 2-8-2020 at 07:17 AM
Hi and thanks.
I have put an avatar in my profile page several times. It has always been verified as valid, (size 100 pixels wide) but then disappeared after I
edited/saved the page. Other info has not had the same problem. Since the avatar is being selectively deleted, I thought there might be some prior
requirement, such as number of posts.David K - 2-8-2020 at 08:45 AM

Perhaps then it requires you to advance above Jr. Nomad? Email Doug to ask.vespaio - 2-8-2020 at 08:56 AM
Will do. ThxJZ - 2-8-2020 at 10:39 AM
There is definitely some post count thing around it. Just keep posting. You don't need many more.

remember to leave the "s" off "https"....vespaio - 2-8-2020 at 11:05 AM
I thought there might be a post count involved. The "s" wasn't a problem, but I had to manipulate the link from postimage a bit before this site would
accept it.
Won't post much more for a while--we're coming to Baja this week for a three week vacation!Bajazly - 2-8-2020 at 11:55 AM
Why can't one just upload an avatar pic rather than linking it from some external site? Or am I missing something?David K - 2-8-2020 at 12:01 PM
It has to be sized to 150 pixels or less... The photo hosting sites usually have that size as an option just for avatars. vespaio - 2-8-2020 at 12:23 PM
I can reformat to any size, and tried to link my scaled avatar from my website to my profile here. Didn't work.BajaNomad - 2-8-2020 at 09:59 PM
Avatar appears for Jr Nomad and above (25+ posts). 150px max width.
You haven't provided the URL you're attempting to use.

I wasn't sure which Doug was which, so I delayed. The URL is above. It works and is valid according to my profile page. It just disappears from the
page, whether I click on edit or not, before I exit the page. It is 150 pixel wide x 228 tall. Resolution is 300 pix/in. I can reformat to other
dimensions if necessary.David K - 2-9-2020 at 09:31 AM
I just noticed that my avatar is now showing up on my posts. Thank you.JZ - 2-9-2020 at 01:25 PM

Thanks for this thread! Very helpful....vespaio - 2-9-2020 at 01:49 PM
Thank you.
It is one of several I have written. The first three editions of this book take you from Utah to Florence, AZ. I have to return to AZ in April to
complete the trail from Florence to the Mexican border. That will be the 4th and last edition of the book. It is not possible to drive the GWT in its
entirety in the northern states.
Arizona's East-West Trail: A Backcountry Challenge, and others are at my website: greatwesterntrailinarizona.comwhite whale - 4-3-2020 at 05:04 PM
Thought it was time to update. took forever to figure out - I think I recall it was tough the first time round also.
maybe a extra mention in the FAQ for this topic would save alot of hassle and wasted time.
THE "S" ... DELETE the S on http.
Postimage.org links are all with the "s"
And maybe a * in the avatar box with remove the S

'vespaio' (Ray & Jennifer) came by my home on their way to Baja, several weeks ago. We exchanged books and had a nice visit!
