I've seen plenty of avatars that change themself even when the user they belong to is not online, such as Bisqwit's palette changing Megaman Helmet. I was just wondering on how to do it myself. Thanks... - SD

See this thread: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=76136 Also, you need 350+ posts to use the mood variant avatar.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

On which page on that thread does it explain how to use variable avatars? It has some source code on the first page, but how do I use that? It can't be copied either, because it's just a png image. But then again, where would I have to copy that for the avatar to work?

Under 'Profile' at the top of any forum page, at the bottom of the page you can put a mood-variant avatar URL (with a $ in the place of a variable number for the available moods). Then when posting, you can select a mood number. It's pretty simple.

http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=113347#113347 You shall store several images named like whatever1.gif, whatever2.gif, whatever3.gif etc. somewhere in web in one folder. Then you go to profile settings & paste the link to this folder like http://wtf.com/folder/whatever$.gif The numbers for your pictures shall fit the mood numbers that you will see when you open the reply page. Also, this https://tasvideos.org/forum/moodreport shows the default numbers for moods.

There's also my method, which is randomish and doesn't require you to make a lot of posts.
