First of all, I couldn't find another place in the forum to ask this question (site support/help etc)

Now, my avatar has disappeared for no reason some months ago, I didn't have the time nor interest to fix this before, but tonight I went through my Forum board and couldn't find where to upload my personal avatar. The only option I have is :

- no avatar
- actors
- musicians

hm......could someone please tell me where to look for this ?

Thanks

Fred

Dear Fred

Now only the subscribers can have a avatar. When you change your profile you became unable to upload your old avatar again. It was the same with me.

Hope i helped you.

Really? I'm not a subscriber, but I can change my avatar.

If you are part of an SC4D-recognized team (ie NAM, BeNeLux) you can continue to use a custom avatar even if you're not a subscriber.

well........disappointing.

Is there a specific reason for this?

If by for this you mean why to get an avatar you have to have a subscription, it's - I guess - because avatars, even being a small picture is something that weight a lot in the site bandwidth.. One avatar per user, assuming there is maybe a hundred user who would like to have an avatar, it makes a lot. :P

if it was for what Noah said, I have no idea at all..

Are you sure you can not upload an avatar? 
Do you see this line.....
"Specify avatar by URL"

This was done to intice members to get a subscription.  But if you already had an avatar than you were able to keep it.

Yap, I had an avatar before, always had. And now the option to have one is not there anymore, and I didn't come yesterday onto this site as you can see by my entry date. So.....???? What am I missing besides not being a "payable member"?
How much do I have to pay.....and where.....to get my avatar back?

In your profile, go to " actions " and " paid subscription "  you'll see each options there. ;)
