Can I put up an avatar?

[Vakuoli]

Hi, I'm all new and confused about avatars. Technically I can make myself an avatar uploading an image from my computer. I just did and then took it down. However, the avatar form says "Note: Only users with Donor, Site Contributor or higher status may upload their own custom avatars."

This might be a stupid question but does that note mean that even though I can give myself an avatar I'm not allowed to? It's just confusing as on other forums features that are restricted to status are not available to newbies before they reach said status.

If the software is letting you put in an avatar, go ahead and keep it. I suspect that the wording on the avatar form is out-of-date.
