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.

If a person who registered didn't choose an avatar, how can they choose it after registration? or change their avatar?

Mich, why you put it on Users login form?
It's a page which displays login in the middle. Tutorial is for Profile Page in |
I used following code:
Code <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="194" style="background-color: #F6A37B;"> <tr><td style="background-image:url('http://s101.ucoz.net/t/161/7.gif'); background-color:#FFC5A9; height: 25px; color:#CC5D28; padding-left:25px;"><b>Personal data</b></td></tr> <tr><td align="center" style="background:#FFFAF8;padding:7px;"> <?if($LOGIN_FORM$)?> Welcome, Guest! <div> </div> <IMG SRC="http://bridog.co.cc/ava1.gif" BORDER="0"> <div> </div> $LOGIN_FORM$ <?else?> <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?> Welcome, $USERNAME$! <div> </div> <?if($USER_AVATAR_URL$)?><IMG SRC="$USER_AVATAR_URL$" BORDER="0"> <?else?> <IMG SRC="http://bridog.co.cc/ava2.gif" BORDER="0"> <?endif?> <div> </div> <a href="$PERSONAL_PAGE_LINK$" title="My profile">My profile</a> <div> </div> <a href="$LOGOUT_LINK$" title="Log out">Log out</a> <?endif?> <?endif?> </td></tr> </table> Added (2009-04-17, 1:07 Pm) Better known as Mr_Smith or Chris-Erik Fotland.

I had a topic before about this, and I found out that if you've used your own image(static image) instead of the avatar list available then the <?if($USER_AVATAR_URL$)?><img src="$USER_AVATAR_URL$"><?endif?> won't output that image.
Is there anyway to do this? :S ps: I'm not talking about using default avatars. |
