How long have you been a Wooter?

Name says it all…6 months ot so…but hooked.

Sure you can! I think it only works on the actual site and not through the app, though. When you’re here on the forums, do the following:

  1. Click on your avatar on the upper-right corner
  2. Click on the little person thing that says “preferences” when you hover over it – it’s on the right
  3. Then choose “preferences.”
  4. From there, one of the options is to change your avatar. Find something to upload there and you should be good to go.

If any of the above isn’t clear, please let me know and I’ll try to explain it better. :slight_smile:

I was looking for the same option. I have Wooted for more than 10 years, but not from the very beginning. When was the very beginning?

66

July 2004, I think.

67

Gosh I don’t remember for sure. I know it all started with a Doctor Who shirt…or was it Jack Skelington…

For those who are about to Woot!…

HardOCP was the website. The forms are called [H]ardForums.

I have been here since April 2006. I remember watching WootTV (not official Woot) on Justin TV.

First purchase was 12/09 but visited the site long before that.

74

Yeah I joined in 2000 when Genmay was rising in popularity. Fun fact that 80% of my IRL friends are from [H]

75

June 2019. I had received an email from Amazon inviting me to join.

76

You should join us in this thread in August!

Anyone is welcome, but it’s really meant for us old-timers.

My first purchase was 3 x Random Crap at $0.01 per crap with the classic $5 shipping. That was way back in August 2004.

I have tried for over a decade and always get: “Discourse::InvalidAccess”

78

Or when trying to use the Gravatar I get: “Sorry, we can’t find any avatar associated with that email address. Can you try uploading it again?”

79

You can upload something from your computer. It doesn’t have to be Gravatar or another service. Have you tried that?

80

Yup, saved as a .png and all
