How Do I Get One?

- Make sure your avatar image is 80px by 80px in size and upload it to tinypic.com
- Copy the "Direct Link" that Tinypic.com produces and post it in the current Greasemonkey Avatar thread (do NOT post avatars in the Whirlpool Plus thread).
- Right-click & copy the anchor link to the right of that post and submit the link to this page.
How Do I Remove One?
- Type ['remove avatar'] (it must have the quotes). The post should look like: remove avatar .
- Right-click & copy the anchor link to the right of that post and submit the link to this page.
Animated Avatars
You can enable/disable animated avatars from the Whirlpool Plus settings page.

Bugs
- Please make sure you are only running ONE script. Right-click the monkey icon at the bottom-right of your browser to check that only one WP+ script is running. http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/1585/wpgm.png
- Check this page to see if your bug is listed.
- List your script version & Firefox version in your post in the WP+ thread here. (It's a good idea to go back a couple of pages in the thread to see if the bug is already reported.)
- Screenshots always help.
- Go to the WP+ settings and enable "Debug Mode", then go to the page that is causing you problems. Copy any error messages that appear in the debug console.
- Again, please make sure you are only running ONE script.
