Okay SilverFlame46,
I think we all have Ralphs.
You’re right. You’ve just got a profile pic like me. I believe what slejhamer was referring to and me is pretty much what you are describing, although an avatar doesn’t necessarily have to have motion to qualify under internet lingo.
I swear just two days ago a function existed under our settings menu for avatars, but it wouldn’t work. Simply had a button selected that stated something like “No Avatars Available”, and it could not be changed. No other options. In fact, while I was toying with this, I inadvertently clicked to see who was on line and it showed me in process of modifying avatar. I can no longer find this function, although a checkbox to show avatars still exists in the forum settings and private email contacts.
Must be Ralph or Heathcliff messing with us!

Mine works, na nan nanna na!
I dont have a clue how I did it!
I had a dream...a visitation from Ralph...! Ralph say, "enough fretting over unimportant avatar. Go fret over bass...practice!"
Nananana hey hey goodby! (Or is that "oh my" or is it "oh why"?)
Yours Truly (That's like amen man.)

Right now we've got to figure out how to allow you guys to upload mP3 files. As for gesticulating avatars - that's somewhere down the list...but we'll get to it.
Thanks for your patience,

Tickling avatars in gest…? Hmmn…! How about it Elmeaux?
Well I'm kinda late to the party but better late then never
As I understand nobody here has an avatar (except Roy and Ralph).
The way these forums work (I have some experience with vBulletin but mostly with the 3.x version not the newer 4.0) but it's basically like this :
Profile picture : You "normally" set a picture of yourself there. And this is NOT shown in the forums, but on your profile page.
Avatar ; This is a photo or image (mostly 80x80 or 120x120) that is posted above your forum name, so if it's set it's viewable in every post you make (like Roy and Ralph).
The Avatar is usefull to quickly identify a member, for example you instantly see it when Roy has posted because you see his face
Now to allow the use of an Avatar someone with "Admin" right here at the forums needs to login at the admin panel and set the option to allow Avatars since as it seems now this option is disabled.
This could be a "security" feature since you can also disallow the use of images or links in posts (or disable signatures) to stop spammers who use these options to spread their cra*
Anyway, I hope this explains a bit.
And on the subject if an avatar is needed ?
Well I personally don't miss them here (I have it on other forums though) mainly because like I said it's easy to find a reply from Roy.
Oh, and a tip :
If Ralph doesn't want to scale his Avatar to a more acceptable size there should be an option to automatically scale it to a max. size like 120x120 for example (that's 120 pixels x 120 pixels IIRC).
