Ok, so I have spent the last hour or so looking at files debating on where to begin on a hack like this... now I have a headache and I am still clueless, but I'm sure it can be done. smile

SO, I ask of our more Perl/UBB savvy members, if they can code up a small hack that would do/have the following:

Add an option to the Avatar CP to use custom avatar as default if one exists in a specified path. (i.e. /ubb/avatars/custom)

If this option is enabled, then if an avatar is in said path, it would auto-magically become the user's default avatar.

Although I realize it wouldn't write to their profile... perhaps tell them to go into their profile and have their avatar show up if available, similar to the original avatar hack?

I am not using the avatars available with the UBB, as they wouldn't fit my board's theme and every member has the option of sending in their own unique avatar.

As it is now, my users have to know the path to my custom avatars directory to set their avatars.

I figured a hack like this would be handy for many, then again I might be the only one. tipsy

Was just a thought... anyone think this is a good idea or maybe wants to give it a shot? wink

Thanks,

~Z
