How to Get an Avatar

By Ashiko T

Those avatars on the comments and in the forums are pretty slick, right? It’s very easy to get one.

  1. Our avatars are hosted by a site called Gravatar. You need an account at Gravatar to get an avatar here, so sign up.
  2. When you sign up, make sure you sign up with the same email that you use for your Boxer and Rice account. The email syncs up the accounts and allows Boxer and Rice to see your avatar.  (The email is case-sensitive.  As Revu recommends, “Your best bet is to use all lower case for both registrations.”)
  3. Once you’re signed up and logged in, upload your chosen avatar. Boxer and Rice will accept all avatars regardless of rating, and we will allow all avatars up to 80×80pixels, the maximum size allowed on Gravatar.

And that’s all; simple as that.

    Also, when you sign up for a Gravatar make sure your email matches completely with your email here. Gravatar is case sensitive and will not sync your avatar image if your email with them is (nickname@email.com) and your registered email here is (NickName@Email.com). Your best bet is to use all lower case for both registrations.

    Good luck!

    Thank you for that, Revu. I’ll be sure to add that in the actual article.
