Question Profile picture

[Lordscavvy]

I'm unable to change my avatars picture,it says that I don't have permission to do it?

 

[GeeKAbaddon]

IIRC you have to have been active for a bit, few posts, likes etc and it kind of unlocks and then you can change your stuff

 

[spafe]

yeah, get youself up to 10 posts (and juve status to boot!) and then you get a lot more rights for the forum, including an avatar pic

 

[Devilmixer]

Nice this help a lot

 

[Ben_S]

Of course, no avatar is cooler than the Yaktribe logo...

 

[James Harrison]

that may be so, but I am not opposed to posting here to get closer to changing my own profile pic.

 

[spafe]

I do love that honesty!

 

[Ben_S]

Honest or shameless? You say tomato...

 

[James Harrison]

Well I don't mind being shameless, at least in this! Getting me to read through more threads and reply to them seems good...I don't think I will have offended anyone in doing it ... At least I hope not!

By the way, I'm new into N17 (played Necromunda as a kid a bit) - I haven't found a "introduce yourself" thread...I'm just getting use to the forums. But yea, it seems you have a great community here!

 

[Ben_S]

There's a thread 'the real you' (or something like that) which is the closest we have to introductions.

One other thing is that you need (I think) ten posts for certain 'privileges' but they're not unlocked immediately - the system only updates periodically, so you may have to wait a bit after hitting the post count.

bang on @Ben_S

Here's the link to the thread btw:

[James Harrison]

Thank you both for the information!

I'm not in a rush to unlock the Avatar etc, but thought it would be worth investing in some posts after reading this thread!

I guess I should go and introduce myself

 

[Ben_S]

Yeah, I'm dying to learn your name...

 

[James Harrison]

Haha - you will never guess it... Ahem!

Turns out without privileges you cant upload photos... so I might just hang back n introducing myself... as yea - you'll just get a bunch of information you could already diving from my profile. hopefully I will get something down tomorrow if I can ad a pic of my by then!

Edit - it seems I have just become a Juve - I should go have another try!

 

[Biggle_Bear]

I think it would be useful to pin this thread as it is so often asked about. It took me ages to pluck up the courage to ask about it, after looking for the answer to no avail.

 

[spafe]

Good call! I'll pin it now. @Malo can always unpin if he wants to reduce the amount of pins in his forge.

 

[Malo]

It's incentive to sit down and write the forum guide. There's always other things that I'd rather be doing on the site!

btw you can always bypass the restrictions and get direct upload rights by subscribing

 

[Ben_S]

Another option I've seen on other forums is one pinned thread for Yak instructions/FAQs that then contains links to other threads (profile pictures, uploading photos, editing posts, whatever else). That would keep the number of pinned threads down.

I'm thinking I'll expand the built-in help system and link to it with a thread as you suggested.
