Yes! Welcome to the forum. I joined yesterday and this seems to be a great forum for just about anything! Very open minded people that are willing to help! Nice community, and tons of information about everything I've been looking for. I hope to continue to see you around. About the avatar picture, I was wondering the same thing earlier today and I got 20 posts and after a few hours I was able to have an avatar but I had to choose from the pre-selected ones on the website. They have some pretty cool ones though so don't sweat it. I think you make need to be a subscriber to have a costum avatar, don't quote me though. I have also heard that it may take a few days to process the fact that you have posted 20 times. Good luck.
