Avatar Quiestion

[Kap]

I am trying to figure out how to Upload Avatars for my users. I am ad Admin, and I was wondering am I able to upload new Avatars for my users to use?

 

Any help you be great!

 

Thank you.

what type of forum are you using?

To add more avatars on an Invision Power Board:

 

Older forum 1.1

goto your forum/images/avatars folder

and create a folder gallery/

inside of gallery create a folder for each type of avatar

such as smiles/ or animals/

change permissions of each folder you create to 755

 

newer forum 1.1.2

goto forum/html/avatars/

change permissions of folder to 755

 

now upload your avatars to the folder.

 

 

now when your user selects edit avatar settings in their CP

and selects Pre-installed avatars,

they will see all the uploaded avatars in all the folders you created.

 

hope this helps.

Kap,

 

I am going to move this to the General Software Issues forum

so others may help or learn.

Thank you for answering!

 

Anyways, i'm using Invision Power Board(U) v1.2 © 2003 .

 

I'm in the Admin CP and I can't seem to find HTML -> Avatars. Which category is it under?

 

Thank you.

You need to use an FTP program to goto your site,

and then look for the folder public_html

then goto

forums/html/avatars/

and look for folders to load your new avatars to.

It will be ftp.******

 

Information for this can be found about 1/2 way down the welcome email that you recieved

Kap,

if you need a free FTP (program that lets you upload the files to your site)

see the Computer Hardware and Software Forums,

look for Suggest a Product or Program

there are a few FTP programs suggested by other customers here.
