Change avatar?

This is a silly question as I am probably missing something easy. I just achieved L2 editor and I want to use my newly-selected Robot Mood :smiley: as my avatar beneath my name on the forums. I have my signature changed, but am I missing an easy way to switch up the avatar, or are they moderator controlled?!?!

The moods are only for the app. :wink:

I was referring to the picture under your name here in the forums. I wanted to set an image (I see you have the ‘waze global champs’ badge.)
That is what wanted to know if I could change, or if they were moderator controlled and appeared once you earned them.

You seem to be only in the registered user group. This group has no avatar set.

Until you belong to another group that has one you won’t be able to display anything.

Once you belong to 1 or more groups, you can choose which badge you want to display be going here : https://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=167 and scrolling all the way down the page and click the “Change default group” button. Your default group’s badge will be the one that is displayed.

You can request to join this group : https://www.waze.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=95

Thanks for the info! I followed that link and was able to change my default group to ‘level 2 map editor’. Now I see that avatar on my posts! :sunglasses:

How to request to join L2 usergroup? I followed above link but see no buttons.

Hi, in the link above, there is no button to “Request to Join”.
I believe I’m entitled to join ME2.

Sorry about the delay, you’ve been added.

Thank you very much!

Hi, how can I join to Map Editor - Rank 2 usergroup?

It is not possible for me on the Usergroup selection page to choose L2 group as the selection circle is inactive next to it. On my screenshot it is visible that only “Routing Problem test” group has an active circle, but all others below are inactive. So I cannot choose and go to the bottom of the page and click “Join selected” for L2 group.

It is also a bit misleading that description says “This is a closed group, new members can only join upon invitation of a group leader.” as this is the only Rank group that does not have a Group Leader section in it, but only Group Members, so I wrote to the chronologically first admin-like user long ago if they can invite me to this group, but received no response so far. I checked also on the wiki page but it is sill not clear there. For Rank groups it says “Membership is open, but is based on your editing rank.” OK, clear, but is there any standard process for joining or requesting invitation after I reached the corresponding rank? :smiley:

Maybe I just fully misunderstood something, so thanks for clarifying/inviting. :slight_smile:

I agree 100% but forum admins seem to think this is normal. Like you, I fail to see any logic behind that reasoning so far.
The only valid reason I was told once is that it is an automatic group, but this thread shows that it obviously is not, and when I asked Waze they confirmed that it is indeed not automatic.

I’ve messaged someone asking them to add you in the meantime.

You can try PM vince1612, he has just helped me.

Thank you, I am waiting then to be added.

Yes, that was my thought also, if it was automatic, it would work, but since it is not, the basic logic is not correct with those misleading descriptions next to the group and on wiki page also…

An admin told me it’s now done :wink:

Yes, it’s ok now, thanks.

Hi,

It’s possible to join this usergroup please ? I’ve got the same problem :?

Thanks a lot.

I asked an admin to add you last saturday during the Berlin meetup.

Yanderuelle had already ask for me. Thanks.

I’ll add my request. I’m a level 3 editor and an Area Manager, but have never been invited to join any of the relevant groups.
