Are there any requirements for uploading images to the gallery? Poster rank, Image size? I uploaded one the other day but it was rejected. Thanks.
Hello NervousWreck
Anyone can post images but they have to be approved by the mods. Here are the instructions.

OK, The image showed up when I first uploaded it. Now its a yellow triangle. I guess the Mod didn't approve of it. Thanks that answered my question.
A yellow triangle with a black rim means that the mods still have to approve it (there are hardly any mods over the weekend); if it's a red cross, then it means that the mods have not approved it.
OK, Its a circle with a line through it and says rejected. Anyway that answers my questions. Thank you.
Ok, I would like to reopen this,,, What I meant to ask about was avatars. I thought at first that a person could upload an image to the image gallery then use as an avatar. But now I understand this is not the case. Is there a way to use a personal avatar?
Hello NervousWreck
No, I believe only Guru's can use personal avatars.
Yep - as floplot said, only Gurus (and the admins & mods) can choose their own avatars. This is most probably to prevent "avatar abuse", as I'll call it; with so many users in this forum, it would be quite easy for someone to upload an image which violates the forum rules and use it as an avatar; so I think that this restriction was established for precautionary reasons.
I understand. Thanks.
