| OK maybe I'm stupid here, but can you explain how you make avatars private? I successfully created two avatars using my main profile (admin), which were put in the 'private' category. Then I logged using a second (non admin) profile and I saw the avatars I created before and was able to use them as if they were 'public'. What did I miss?< |

| Admins and mods can see this folders and delete the avatars in it from all users. But if for example a user uploads a picture to the private folder and after that one to the main charred folder there is no way to get the first uploaded private picture back. The user can't select ore see this private folder. Re-upload the same picture gives the error that this file name exist.< |

Correct, Admins can see the Private Folder.

I see the problem. I thought of a solution. I kept the code which inserts all images in the FORUM_AVATAR table. If I do a comparison between the files in the private avatar folder, the A_NAME in the table and which user owns it then that page will be accessible to everyone but they only see which ones they chose as private.
I'll start on that change today, hopefully shouldn't take more then 2 hours.
And yes since personal avatars get saved into the same folder, you wouldn't want to overwrite someone elses avatar.

Only in category upload? The rest are fine?
And you are using Firefox right?
As of now I can only suggest making sure you have config variables intact and run setup after installation. (I assume you already did) I'll spend some time tracking this down.< |

I think I found the problem. In Firefox, Radio button names might be case sensitive.
Open Up Avatar_Data.asp
Line 1022
Lowercase the P in UPload
Line 1025
Lowercase the P in UPload

| I can't get my avatars to show consistently. Maybe this is because I have my current ones in /pics/avatars/ rather than /forum/avatars/. Uploads are going to /forum/avatars/cats/. Is there an easy way to change the path?< |

TonyB7,
I am currently reworking most of the code to fix alot of errors I missed. I am also going to add a different path for avatars as you meantioned. Currently the only to change that directory is to go into avatar_data.asp and replace the instances of "avatars/".
So open avatar_data.asp in any editor.
Search for "avatars/"
Replace with "pics/avatars/"
But I cannot tell if it will work 100%. This mod was geared to have everything in the /forum/avatars/ folder. But like I said I writing some code to fix that problem.< |

Hey there,
Good update, I reworked most of the files from sloppiness that I said I was going to clean later on. There will be about 6 files now instead of 2. The first version 2 files were enough because there was small functionaitly and the demand grew. Now it should be neater and the setup is more then likely the same.
I created alot of functions to handle most of the request to make sub routines really sub routines.
I finished the main piece and only the Admin Piece remains.< |

The current version is bugged. Tags are missing and screws up on a few places from people who used it. I'm almost done with the rework, I'd wait for that one.

I've been wanting to use this for a while now but because I've converted my forum to CSS, I really need to wait until the bugs are ironed out before I use it. Shame, because more testers, more bugs ironed out. Catch 22!
Anyway, I was wondering how secure the upload is? Is it at all possible for anything malicious to be uploaded to the server or is all of the necessary security in place?< |

I don't mind people finding bugs. It actually helps me out become more aware of the things I missed. Shame I didn't catch them before.

For uploading it uses Richard's original code. I also added Max File Size which checks the file size of the image before uploading. If it is too big it rejects them. Also in the Admin panel the Admin controls which extension types may be uploaded and shown.
Unfortunately I do need to go back and add the extension part into his class. I just noticed it again, I meant to take care of that. Only checks jpg, gifs and jpegs at the moment.
Please suggest more security if that is not enough. 
Lastly, I finished the code overhaul. The code is all in place and work flawlessly. Before I release I need to finish a few more comments for the functions and change the readme in a few spots. Other then that I should finish tomarrow 
Hopefully I'll be done with this phase.< |

| I have just had a read thru of the instructions for the mod install and I can not see where the modifications to the database are made, am I missing something obvious? I am assuming that the Richard Kinser, adapted by Hamlin avatar mod has to be installed first then the Zuel mod after. The Richard Kinser mod does not seem to have any instructions for altering the database, so does the Zuel mod take care of all this?< |

Yes, you're missing like step 1. You should probably start with an easier mod to install because if you skip steps like this you're going to have tons of trouble.
Anyway, Zuel's still working on the add-on, so don't try to install it just yet.< |

Am I correct in thinking the Hamlin avatar mod needs to be installed first?< |
