I've been asked a few times now, how some people managed to get custom avatars. While we don't yet have an upload system we do allow you to use a service called Gravatar to set up your own avatars. This is a popular system on blogs and lets you automatically have one avatar across a range of sites. Here's how to set it up.

Step 1) Edit your profile and change your avatar to the firey MOBAFire logo (this is the default one when you sign up).
Step 2) Go to Gravatar's website and sign up there using the same email address associated with your MOBAFire account.
Step 3) Follow Gravatar's instructions to set up your custom avatar.

That's it! If you have set yourself up properly on Gravatar, the MOBAFire logo in your profile will automatically change to your Gravatar settings. Any other Gravatar-enabled sites that you use will also show this new avatar.

Enjoy :)

If you already have an avatar on gravatar.com, it may automatically put it as your standard avatar.
