Avatar - How to?
This is super simple but for some reason I can't add an avatar.
When I click the "Edit Avatar" button, I get a white box that says "No avatar selected" and this:
"Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Do not use an avatar
Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it."
Below that are two black buttons: 'save changes' & 'reset fields'
Searching for avatar yielded no help. I'm thinking its a technical issue or something I'm plain missing.

Just re-read through both the 'Welcome to professional soldiers' & 'Professional soldiers bulletin board rules' and still am not having luck. The only reference that would be close would be about pictures and making sure they relate and do not contain nudity.
I feel like I'm missing it

I am pretty sure you will need 100 posts before being allowed to add an avatar.

OK.....this is what you need to know, and what I got for a response directly from Team Sergeant.
"Reread the rules. You get an avatar after 100 posts, unless you have worn a Green Beret..."
Hope this helps,

And we have a WINNER!  (Thanks for saving me the hassle. )
A minor clarification - 100 QUALITY posts. We have revoked Avatar privileges for excessive "me too", +1, and other inane BS posts. FWIW.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Thanks everyone for your input and clarification. Now to get to 100.
For due-diligence I went back to the welcome threads and did a find for the "100" and "hundred" and still came back negative results.

"Looking forward to seeing your avatar in a couple of years. " - It may indeed be that long as I'm trying just to stay out of the professionals way as much as I can and only asking questions when I don't know an answer.

Wait a minute.....I've worn a Green Beret with a "full flash" and a Special Forces tab. I never really thought about it, but does that qualify me for an avatar ?  As far as the "quality posts" go..LOL!

I was also wondering about an avatar. I thought it was 50 posts but regardless, I have went through training, worn a GB and got my woman, so I am ready for an avatar. What proof is needed and to whom.
