hi, i've recently installed your board and i'm very much pleased with it. Though there are two things i don't seem to find in my admin control panel.

First thing is that i don't seem to be able to change the dimensions of the avatars. They are now 64*64 and it's a bit small for me. I've seen other webwiz forums that have bigger dimensions. Where can i change those dimensions?

Second thing is that "custom user titles" only seems to be active as a moderator/admin. Can i set this option on for all the other members.

Greetz wack

You can change the avatar size in the skin file found in the includes directory.

Only admins and modertors can change custom user titles.

ok thx, i've now changed it to 90*90 but it seems to auto-stretch every avatar to 90*90 and that wasn't really meant to be.

The images supplied with the forum are 64 x 64, so it will strech them, you will need to get hold of some avatars that are 90 x 90, I think you should be able to find some 100 x 100 from:-

yes but the problem is that users upload avatrs that aren't aways perfectly 90*90 but they are within bounds of 90*90. So the stretch option can't be turned off i suppose?

You can remove the height and width attributes from the pages that display the avatar. I have done this on a couple of boards that I know I can depend on the users.

**WARNING: This means that someone can put a really oversize avatar that will totally jack up your tables and forum look.
