Avatar Host

Okay, I know this might seem a strange topic to have.

But what do you do for the hosting service for your avatar? Meaning, do you use gravatar or some other hosting service and put in the url? Or, do you [premier members] use BZPower itself as the host (I think you can do that, right?).

 

Personally, I use Gravatar. I have used it for many years, and was glad that BZP supported it.

Are non-premium members able to upload their avatar directly?

Question prompted by:

 

I usually upload mine.

 

 

Yes, you should be able to. Try here - use the "Upload from file" option. Premier Members get the option to upload files directly to posts; that's what you may be thinking of.

 

I just upload mine from my hoard of Kagome pics.

Ah yes, I see now. Yeah, that's probably what I was thinking of.

Wait, you can still host avatars off-site? I thought IPB took that out and gas you either Gravatar or direct host. Which is why I lost the ability to use my rotating avatar.

It gives you the option to put a URL in and then it does the direct host thing. No we can't do gifs and I no longer have my abnormally large avatar from before.
