Hello..

I wanted to ask how can I disable the option for uploading an avatar or profile picture to the server. I want to let the users just to put URL adresses for the avatars.

I searched in the vBulletin Setting or in the Styles&Templates but I didn't find.
Can someone help me?

Maybe can I delete the code? But where?

Thanks.

I think you need a modification to do that. vB will upload all avatars to your server and use them. Do a search on "avatar*" in "all mods" "titles only" to see if there is a modification.

I found the templates to delete the codes, and i did it successful.
BUT -
When I'm trying to upload by the control panel, it's writing me the next error:
Warning: tempnam() [function.tempnam]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/virtual/tgfforum:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in [path]/includes/class_upload.php on line 275

Why is it writing me this?

Do a search on "open_basedir restriction" on this forum and you will get threads like:
error when uploading from another website (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202400&highlight=open_basedir+restriction)
error then upload (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=205376&highlight=open_basedir+restriction)

Those should help. There are many other threads like them too.
