Avatar requires a certain post count?

[Serack he/him]

I was able to upload an avatar to my profile, but it does not show up yet on my posts, so I was wondering if that requires a certain post count, and if so what that post count is...

Also, do posts have a decay period? I.E. do they go poof a set amount of time after creation, or after the last active post?

It could be that your avatar is too large or something like that. I just added one for mine and it seemed to work just fine.

there is also a difference between profile picture and avatar, did you make one of both?

As Emeralis posted, personal pictures and avatars are different. Looking at your profile, I can see that you've set your personal picture (the one that appears on your profile), but probably not your avatar. Sorry for the confusion. It's a very silly distinction to have you do the same thing twice, and I hate it. The next version of the forum software does away with separating personal pictures and avatars.

Posts don't have a decay period. If you know what forum and which topic you posted them in, you will always be able to find the post again.

Hope this helps!

Sure did, thanks. Dunno how I didn't see it earlier unless it wasn't available until I broke the 10 post count threshold (something the jim butcher forums requires)

Now to go and chat up the theory section.

There shouldn't be a post threshold like that. At least, one that I made intentionally. I tried to disable as many thresholds as possible.
