I have my forum setup so people can only use Avatars that I provice, they can't upload their own on link in. How can I add a Special Avatar that the Admin can only use, and then a Special Avatar Mods can only use? Without having the general public be able to pick them?

The simplest way would be to link to the avatar from the users setting page.

If you have disabled this feature then maybe the simplest way without loads of hassel of moding code would be to place the link to the avatar directly into the database for those members.

I am kinda lost, how do I place the link to the avatar directly into the databsase for those members? I am running the SQL version of 7.9. I don't know much about coding, or SQL databases.

  1. Open the database in Enterprise Manager.
  2. Open the table tblAuthor
  3. Look for the members record you want to change
  4. Change the field, Avatar, to the path and image name you want the person to have as their avatar
