where do all the cool Avatars on this site come from? I'm a newbee so sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

No problem, Mychal!

Click on your Profile (just under the WWG banner), and scroll down to the bottom of that page. You'll see an area called "Avatar control panel."

At this point, you've got two choices:

1) Click "Show Gallery" and choose one of the images that are there.

2) Click "Choose File" and upload your own image from your computer.

If you choose your own image, make sure it's not too big (dimensions or file size). The limit on file size is 20k, so you know.

Enjoy!

[edit] If you're taking about the ones with a WWG banner and titles, etc: those come at 250+ posts, marking you as a top poster.

You can also get them earlier, by making a build so awesome that it gets showcased on the main page (at the bottom, under "User Build Spotlight."

Sweet, thanks alot for the 411.

This is the thread related to top posters and what the levels are. There is also a link to the WW's avatars gallery at the bottom of Phatz's first post in the thread. As well, there are two other threads that discuss this same topic, Return of them Swanky Avatars, and Bride of Return of them Swanky avatars. They should clarify a bit more about the advancement of the way avatars are being handled now. All three threads can be found in the WorldWorks General Chat forum. Until you reach 250 posts though, you'll have to use Aleph13's suggestion.

As the humble suggester of the "Master Builder" avatar, I can say the quickest way is to pick one of the great products available, put some blood sweat and tears into an outstanding build, then post some pics of that build. (Unless you happen to decide to become a prolific poster such as Magsman )

Mags should have a level of his own - I mean he's already playing upon a different field as it is.
