First let me say I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum and yes I tried a search before posting this. I'm looking for a basic avatar mod but I have a couple of needs for it and I thought they were basic. I just want to have the ability for a user to upload an image for use, only they would see it and be able to use it. Heck they don't even have to be able to upload it they could just point to the location on the net. I also want to be able to delete any avatar I deem bad. I don't need the gallery and such that usually come with an avatar mod. I tried snitzbitz but couldn't find anything that suited my needs. I really wanted to implement the Zuel mod but it is much more then I need and it looks to not be to a finished stage yet.<

Jiffy, I also got it from Steve directly. Thanks Steve!!!.

I changed the size to 100x80, no problems...
I also changed the following since I had empty entries in the database:

if imgLocation =" " then
'do nothing.....user does not have a picture!
to

if imgLocation =" " or imgLocation ="" then
'do nothing.....user does not have a picture!
Only real trouble are those who use a full digicam pic and think it's ok since it shows ok..

Is there a quick way to check the size of the picture linked?

All is good now. Was uploading my backup file and didn't realize it. I can't believe how good this works. What a great mod.

Does it slow down the page load speed very much when there is a very large image used as the avatar?<

Of course.<

I guess what I meant was having an image load from another location hasn't seemed to slow down the page load for me. It usually just makes it seem like the images are loading slow but not the actual page. I'm sure you're right though it must be slowing down the page but I just don't notice.<

It wouldn't slow the entire page down. Things just load in pieces. Images are usually one of the last things to load, as well as media, flash, shockwave and the like.
If you view a thread that has about 20 replies, each person is different with an avatar, you will notice the slowdown. Other then that, you shouldn't feel it. Unless someone uses a 20mb file as an avatar.<
