Where it says “Display Avatars?” check “Yes”.

I am having trouble finding some avatars. 
Are there hints available?

Yes, there are.  Go to the URL from the previous question
and click on the name of the avatar you are having trouble
with.  If a hint is available, it will be on that page.

Someone asked me for help finding an avatar. 
How much help can I give?

Giving small hints are fine, but please do not disclose
the exact way to get a hidden or earned  avatar.

What is a Credit Shop avatar and how much do they cost?

Credit Shop avatars stock in the credit shop.  They usually
cost between 15 - 50 mp.  After you buy one, it appears in
your inventory as an item.  You have to activate it to place
it in your avatar list.  You can activate it from your inventory
by clicking on it and selecting that option from the scroll box.
Because these avatars appear as items, you also have the
option of gifting or selling them to other members.

What is a Default avatar?

Default avatars are avatars that have been awarded
to you automatically.  You do not have to do anything
to get them.  When a new default avatar is released,
it will be added to your list.

something on the site such as feeding your pet a certain item.
