Users can set an avatar from an existing post; click "Set Avatar" on the post page. Drag and resize the box on the larger image to select what will be shown as your avatar. Then click "Set Avatar" under the preview image on the right to finish. Internet Explorer does not work for setting avatars; try another browser instead.

Clicking someone's avatar brings you to the post it's from.

There is no avatar blacklisting. Keep the avatars reasonably clean; rating:q is probably fine. (You can use any image as source, though.)

~~It seems we have many users who are unable to perform this task correctly so here's a Picture Tutorial on how to create yourself an avatar, as well as locating the "Set Avatar" link.

1. Find the "Set Avatar" Link which is at the bottom of the "Options." I have circled it in red on the sample picture but once you find it click on it.
2. Next, Click and drag your box to the desired area in which you want you avatar to occupy. Your avatar can be more than just squares, verticle or horizontal rectangles too. (Shift + Click to make a box.)
3. Click "Set Avatar"
4. Your done, enjoy your avatar :)
