Is it possible to place te avatars on a users private webspace ?
Thats to reduce diskusage and bandwidth at my webserver.

so the users have to upload their own avatar to their own webspace instead of putting them in my MySQL database.

I don't believe this is available right now, but have you taken into consideration that you will be experiencing a lot of broken images and slower page loads due to graphics having to load and rely on outside servers? Personally, I'd rather deactivate avatars completely if I was having that problem, but fortunately, I don't.

To solve te 'broken link' problem, you can use a tranparent image, wich is the default avatar or something.

isnt there a way to change the forum source files to change te location of the avatars ?
