Control Avatar Uploads

Hi Richard

This would be fairly easy albeit a bit time consuming or until you had completed the process. As I understand it, users can obviously upload their own avatars - no one else can use them as the file that controls the avatar choices will only display what choices you offer people
includes/select_avatar.asp is the file with that list of avatars on

The best way if I was doing this would be if you have the user photos, would be to create a folder say called user-id (just as an example) and then upload that within the forum directory, and then upload the user photos to it

Then as an administrator edit their respective profiles, and where it says avatar http address put in the corresponding web address where the image of that person is located on your server. Example:

www.mywebsite.com/forum/user-id/image001.jpg

That should do it, and it will prevent users having access to other peoples photographs. For security, you could perhaps randomise the image numbers, names etc. I would not use the real name as the filename
