avtatars for gforum
If there any way to implement avatar files that I upload for users to choose from? I don't want users to just upload their own but would like them to have the option to use one from an approved set.

Hi,

Yes, goto Users->Icons in the admin menu to create a set of icons a user can pick from.

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,
I uploaded the files to the image dir and made them available as you instructed. However only radio buttons not the images show up in the profile and the I can't get get anything to show in the user box on the left. Any other thoughts?

Hi CCUnet,

Check the permissions on the uploaded images - they should probably be 644. It sounds as though there may be a permission problem accessing the images.

They are chmod 644 but that doesn't help.

Do they show up properly in the admin menu?

Where did you upload the images, and what image path did you enter in the admin panel? They should be placed inside Gossamer Forum's image directory, then the value entered in the admin should be just 'image_name.jpg'.
