Hi there,
I found this great place a couple of days ago, immediately downloaded the core forum and amazingly got it to work on my first try. I am in no way a "code nerd", so I was quite satisfied by my success 
However, there seems to be so many exciting mods available for this forum, and some of them I just have to try - like the avatar mod...
Installation went not so well as the core forum, but at least I got it to work after spending some hours, and now I am enjoying the avatar options.
What I would like, is some kind of mod that allows my users to view and select the available avatars from a list or pop-up window. As it is now, they would have to know the precise name of the avatar.
I saw a nice feature on "modsquare.com" (I think it was). Don't know how complicated that solution is, but I could settle for something less than that.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
P.S. I have tried using the search option for finding answers to this question before posting, but with no luck.

on forumsquare you saw this? was it the Avatar Legend MOD?
I think the code for that mod can be found on the Snitz Exchange

Yes, it was on forumsquare, sorry for the mistake.
I guess it could have been the Avatar Legend Mod. I downloaded the file from your link, but unfortunately, I am stuck at this point. There is no readme file included in the zip, so I have no clue what to do with the two files included ("inc_avatar.asp" & "advanced_avatarlegend.asp").
I would think that some code needs to be added somewhere...
If anyone could supply a few hints, they would earn a place in my evening prayers 
Regards,
Simon

Well, I couldn't help but visit your website Crash. The avatar feature you have, is exactly like I would like mine.
Is this feature provided by the mod you linked to in the above message ?
Regards,
Simon

the file inc_avatar.asp needs to be included in inc_profile.asp, anywhere you want it to appear.
use a line the likes of this to do so:
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="inc_avatar.asp" -->
the other file can be placed in inc_top.asp, somewhere in the menu links. i do not have access to my files right now, so i cannot give you any code as example...
the mod i use is a modded version of the one i linked to a few posts above.

Hmmm, that didn't seem to change anything.
When I check my profile settings, I still have to write the correct url for the avatar I want to use - THEN, I can press preview, and it will show the avatar from the url entered. (this is exactly the same result as I had before).
Any idea of what I have done wrong ?
