Quote An avatar is a computer user's representation of himself/herself or alter ego, whether in the form of a three-dimensional model used in computer games, a two-dimensional icon (picture) used on Internet forums and other communities, or a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs. It is an “object” representing the embodiment of the user. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_ (computing)  An avatar reflects user’s personality so when choosing an avatar remember: it will influence the way other users will see you. Some avatars can provoke irritation or rejection, and most people will transfer these emotions on the attitude towards you. So, there are some recommendations: 1. Your avatar must not be too big. The size of more than 150х150 px often corrupts forum design. Optimal size is 100х100. 2. Your avatar must not weigh much, because one forum page may turn to be quite expensive for some users. Optimal weight is 5-10 Kbyte. 3. If your avatar is animated it must not flicker too often. If it is not animated it must not be a mishmash of bright colors. 4. Avoid dirty inscriptions on avatars. Some users think it’s cool but it only shows your childishness and immaturity. 5. Avoid sexual images. If you are not a member of adult forum then this only means that you have problems with sex. When registering a user can choose an avatar out of more than 20 default sets. If website administrator allowed Users group to Upload own avatars in user group settings, then you can set an avatar from your computer. You can also change max size of uploaded avatars. E.g.: Maximal size (Kbytes) for uploaded avatars: 150 Kb Maximal dimensions (Pixels) for uploaded avatars: 140x140Px In the Control Panel in Users – Avatar Management (Main » Users » Avatars) you can select the default sets from which users will be able to choose their avatars. To disable a set (sets) remove the corresponding checkmarks.  You can also create your own avatar collections. Just follow the steps below:
Your collections will have the names "Collection 1", "Collection 2", "Collection 3" and so on. You can’t give your own names to the collections.

carloscompu, this will work anywhere. Of course you may need to adjust the code as appropriate depending on the template and your preferences in width, etc.
<div class="avtrBlock">$_AVATAR$</div> .avtrBlock img {max-width:200px;} Jack of all trades in development, design, strategy.

Does Maximum dimensions (Pixels) for uploaded avatars makes user personal page avatar in axactly width and height or it's just like written - maximum?
I just need a code for user's personal page @customize design for this one: Code <?if($_AVATAR$)?>$_AVATAR$ <br /><br /><?else?><img src="/img/icons/no_avatar.png" width="100" height="100"><br /><br /><?endif?> how can I set my width and height for: Code $_AVATAR$ tried some standard solutions but nothing.. and module settings @Users module just allow to choose MAXIMUM dimensions.. ty |
Quote Korijs (  ) it's just like written - maximum? Yes, it's the maximum. Quote Korijs ( )tried some standard solutions but nothing. Use $USER_AVATAR_URL$, e.g. Code <img src="$USER_AVATAR_URL$" width="100" height="100"> I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Korijs, yes, sorry, my bad. If there is a CSS class assigned to the avatar image (as a rule there is, at least in the standard templates, e.g. .user_avatar img), you can set the parameters for the class.

Why we cant put larger avatars than 500 kb, when we change size for maximum uploaded images higher than 500kb the system automaticly change it to 200kb.
