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:

Create a folder named "ava" in the File Manager (letters in low case).
Upload folders with avatars to the "ava" folder by means of any FTP client (a separate folder for each set). A set must contain not more than 100 avatars.

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.

How can I do so that Guests have definite avatars in forum (e.g. an image with the inscription "Guest").

Code

<?if($USER_AVATAR_URL$)?><IMG SRC="$USER_AVATAR_URL$" BORDER="0"><?else?> <IMG SRC="/noavatar.gif" BORDER="0"> <?endif?>

Example of a personal block with avatars:

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>

Here is how it looks:

For a Guest:

For users with avatars:

Rezwan73, other avatar codes are not available for blog so I doubt it will be possible... Give me the link to your blog, I'll have a look.

Actually, I have not applied the avatar code on the blog section yet as i have not found it. and it is not my site. me and some friends of mine are working for this site, to create a common place for the students of our university. address : http://www.amadermbstu.info/blog

My suggestions:
Include all module in "Rank" by point system
Easy transfer system between Categories

Miss_Stephxx,

Its simple Goto CP - Customize design - User Personal page. At the bottom you will see many words like this $USER_REG_DAYS$ . Copy what you want and customize it inisde the block using HTML code. wink

You'll need <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?>

1. It's not quite nice to copy other website.
2. It's coding knowledge, we don't teach.

undead, that's because of your browser or firewall settings. Check the settings, some of them block sending of the data.

Is it suppose to show a default picture (assuming you have a default) when you've used an external link as an avatar using the $USER_AVATAR_URL$ code?
In certain modules, it shows the posters' picture even if they've used an external link. I was just wondering if it's possible to enable the same effect, except for the universal avatar code.

Alright, well say I used this image http://www.visitrenotahoe.com/images/icons/Myspace.png as my avatar. Since it is from a different source, $USER_AVATAR_URL$ doesn't display it. Although if I chosen an avatar from the avatar set or have uploaded one from my computer, it would.
