Personal Avatar
Having only joined the Forum 24 hours ago, I find that I cannot have a personal avatar, but have to choose one from a Mickey Mouse selection of utter rubbish. No deal, why should I ?
Could the Forum Administrator please tell me why such a childish restriction exists on this Forum when on all other Forums I have been associated with, there is no problem in uploading our personal avatar`s ? Seems rather Kindergartenish and not appropriate for mature adults. |

Re: Personal Avatar
Hi and welcome to TSF!
It is mentioned at least twice in the TSF rules that TSF is a family forum. So while the avatar you want to upload may fit in the rules, because it is a family forum, there are certain rules setup.

Re: Personal Avatar
Also, this forum is paid for out of Admin's pocket, and as such we do not have unlimited server space. To reduce the load on our servers, Admin have various restrictions in place, including limiting new users to pre-existing avatars.
I hope you can understand why this is necessary on this non-profit, volunteer-based site.

Re: Personal Avatar
Look on the bright side .. until you get to 500 posts you have a lot of time to find that "right" avatar that will express the way you feel about you!
