You've done everything right just the waiting I think:
From Site Rules etc...
What do I need to do in order to get an Avatar?
Firstly, you need to have posted at least 10 times on The AnswerBank and have been an active user for more than 14 days. If you don’t have 10 posts by now, why not nip into The AnswerBank and help someone out with their burnings questions? Your knowledge and opinion is what makes the site tick!
Arksided. I was not user-inactive. I was travelling and decided to log out of Answerbank. When I came to log back in, I couldn't exactly remember my password and I presume Answerbank office was closed
as putting in a new password and saving it did not result in my being able to log back in until today.
While on the subject of Avatars, is that you on yours or wearing a mask?
A bit scary, Arksided.
Am going to delete Avatar and sign in again - if not, it doesn't matter because I like jelly babies and there are loads of them here!
