Hello Badge56, welcome!

To get the admin folks to properly notice your request for an avatar, go to Forum Home or All Forums and then scroll down to the bottom and click into the forum Stamp Community Support. Start a new topic in that forum and post your avatar request there.

Second, there are rules of engagement (lol) here on the forum. Please take some time to read through them, button top right.
You should refrain from trading or buying or selling (or emailing through the forum) until you have 50 posts and two weeks here. We would enjoy talking to you and getting to know you.
Please add your comments to the ongoing forums or start your own topics to show your stamps, ask questions (I still have lots of questions) or just hang about. The 50 posts will come very quickly.
There, that's my good deed for the day! lol
Do you also collect covers or just stamps? Mint also perhaps?
