I've seen so many people on the forums asking for this and that about custom avatars so I basically just copied Matt's post and added some more information (the part with lots of mistakes). Ignore if you don't think it's useful. And if any mod thinks this is useful, they can probably sticky it or something. I will answer if someone has questions and try to help them.



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.


To change your current avatar to your custom avatar you need to edit your profile and select the custom avatar, which you uploaded to Gravatar. Now press the "X" on the right corner of the panel and then press the update button which you can see at the bottom of the "edit profile" -page.
Enjoy :)

Added a link to Gravatar's website and am going to put it in the FAQ sticky. If people keep asking I might put it as a separate sticky here.

Thanks Janitsu! :)

Actually, I already have one. I tried to add this to it at the top as a "TLDR" version but it's not saving. Will try to get it working.
