Hi people from bitcointalk

Im new to this community and the bitcoin world overall. I wanna offer my services as graphic designer but I was wondering how I can change my avatar. I looked through my settings on the profile page but could not find any option for that.

yes Newbie, and Member are now allowed to use avatar, in past the Newbie and the Member rank were also allowed to use it but then the authorities changed the strategy and limited avatar to Full Member, Sr Member, Hero Member and Legendary Member only.

You're not allowed to add your avatar because previously there're hacks to the forum, and admins thought that avatar was the source for them injecting malicious code to the forum...

Also newbies can't post images here due to security problems (or maybe anti-spam). You may need to link a external website with examples of your designs.

Learn more about bitcoin by discussing here in the mean time for you to upgrade to Full Member :) You'll be surprised how big the community is :)
