I was thinking about this as I was uploading pictures to an instructable the other day. Is there a limit to the amount of pictures we can upload to our accounts to post in our instructables?

[killa monk4]

yeah how do u make it ur avatar

[Browncoat]

I've been able to upload pics, but I can't figure out how to make an image be the "me" image instead of the shadow-figure. Any help?

[deviant]

[Your Average Guy]

[monkeyman1518]

The video wont play. Can you tell us how to do it please? Us faceless avatars need your help

[individual_61]

look at us all, all faceless and without avatar.... we, the faceless millions need this instructable - you're our only hope, Obi-wan... And perhaps another on how to play videos too ;-)
