You need to be a gold member to have an avatar.

Or be a member of the staff (that is, be a science advisor, homework helper, mentor or administrator). I believe they get to have avatars too...

True, but the chances of most getting there are slim, I chose the easy route...

even though your message was in text form you still somehow managed to convey a sense of smug condescension "you need to be a Gold member to have an avatar" he says, with his own cat avatar looking down on me with an expression of derision...
Only joking, thanks for the info!

avatar question

if I gain the recognition of "PF contributor" does that allow the use of an avatar on my posts?
if so, what criterion must be met to become PF contributor?

if so, what criterion must be met to become PF contributor?

To be a contributor, you can either donate money via the Upgrade link at the top or you can do the proliferation thing here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=338366, which requires you post a flyer advertising PF at your university/college campus.

sorry for asking a similar question - I wasn't sure if being a PF Contributor was the same as or encompassed by being a Gold Member.
