How do I change my avatar to the custom one? Not the one from these that are listed by default.
Go to profile > change Avatar > drag your chosen Avatar into the Blue lined box at the bottom of the page ... then click to change. Now you are at level 3 it should work for you.
This won't work. I can drag my pictures around, move to the very bottom of the page and move it over my current avatar, however, it has no effect on my avatar... it still remains the same. Tried it on Safari and Chrome.
I had similar problems at first. I can't remember exactly how I achieved it but I don't think it related to my then current avatar. I seem to recall dragging the chosen avatar into an empty box and a second box appeared. That seemed to offer me a choice of choosing another avatar for that box. Suddenly the chosen one registered. Hey Ho!
This may not solve your problem but eventually it solved mine; honestly. 😀
I have no empty boxes among avatars. No luck 🙂
Thank you for your time.
Hello again, Munas.
Just thought I would try again to follow my own tracks. Go to Your stuff > Profile > Actions (Change Avatar) > From the selection that appears scroll right down to the bottom of the page. My page shows a blue lined empty box at the very bottom and words in blue letters ... 'Add another avatar'. Click on those words. You will then find an invitation to upload an image (which will eventually be put into the empty blue box). Regretably I don't have space to go further without losing other images I have saved but try to follow this and see how you progress. Good luck.
Just crosses my mind. How long have you been at level 3. Perhaps the powers that be have not yet noticed and made the custom avatar open to you.
Bellow is the image of my avatar change page's bottom. No empty box with desired text 🙂
If you've only just reached 500 points then it may take a day or two for the option to appear.
I believe it happened today. I'll wait 🙂
Thank you.
Yes. That was how my page looked before the option was added.
So, as I suggested (and King Penguin kindly confirmed), it may be that the option has not yet been added to your profile. We shall have to wait a few days.
So that's your new avatar. Very mysterious! Thank you for the stars.
