Would somebody kindly tell me the spec, to add an avatar, so that it will show on posts.
I cannot find an option for adding avatars in the user CP

Regards
 
Hello.

For various reasons, the WebMaster allows avatars only for Team members and volunteer helpers.

Sorry for any inconvenience. :)
 
:greeting: I am glad that you asked that question Jagcat because I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to figure it out. now we know.
 
Tashi sweety :flowers:

You can't make an exception for me :rolleyes: Just a red nose as an avatar will do fine ;)

:heart: and greetz, Red.
 
Secvurity?

Sorry, I don't make the policies.

Part of the reason for the decision is a security matter.

I am a member of many Forums and they don't have "security" issues!

Could this be reviewed sometime by the "Bosses" to have all of us able to upload avatars. To say it's a security situation belies the fact that we ARE using SpyBot. ;)
 
What's the big deal? If the webmaster doesn't allow it, then you can't have it. It's their site, not ours. I'm here for the info anyway.
 
tashi:

Great job!!!

However, there may be an unforeseen problem. You have included so many avatars for people to choose from, I envision people frittering away hour after hour trying to decide among them all.

Now you're going to have to come up with something like a Myers-Briggs personality test to help people narrow their choices.
 
*sigh That is more than 50 pages of Avatars. I'll need one hour, before I can choose one. Lols, all of them look so good.
 
I still haven't decided lol :laugh:

too many pages! How about increasing the number of avatars per page? Or like md usa spybot fan said, having a select few?

Another idea is that instead of having people uploading images, how about having people using image urls?

Perhaps. Did so for the penquins.

I had the impression md usa spybot fan was making a joke. ;) However such a decision would be based on user input.

A large choice seems preferable to having none at all, and bear in mind that one person's preferences might not be another's.

I wouldn't like to remove a person's favourite.

Sorry not likely, that was the point regarding such as being a security issue and why we didn't, and probably won't, provide that permission.

There are also other matters at hand to address, rather than spending one's day checking each new member's avatar to make sure it is appropiate for a family forum. :p:

Stock avatars are a nice solution, I hope people will enjoy the option. :)

Cheers.
