members' privileges

Hello!
When do newly registered members receive privileges such as adding an avatar and signature? Is there a post somewhere with this kind of information?
Is there a symbol key?

Hi Kathy

You should be able to change your avatar from your User Control Panel. To access your control panel, just click on User Control Panel which is under the Board index link.
From there, click on Profile (present on the left hand side) and then click on Edit Avatar.

By the way, welcome to the community

Thank you, Cyborg!

When I go to Edit avatar, I get this:

and when I go to Edit signature, I get this:

I figured that I have to pass some milestone or qualification to gain these privileges. I've been looking all over the board for something that defined terms, member's privileges and a symbol key.

Hi, I have notified the board administrators about this issue. They will get back to you soon

Thank you, Cyborg!

So, my situation is abnormal?

Due to the previous abuse of signatures and avatars by members of the registered users group these settings have been disabled, and are now only available to members of the Univeristy.

Hello, Orac!
I've already applied. (I'm so excited! )I believe I'm on the waiting list. I'm awaiting the entrance examination.
Thank you for explaining this to me. Is there a sticky somewhere which defines terms, or a symbol key?
