Once I updated our 4.1.5 forum to 4.1.6 today, all avatars that were previously set at 150x150 have changed.

When you make your initial post in Quick reply it looks correct. once you refresh the page the avatar re sizes to 60x??something.

All settings are still at the same prior to upgrade but something seems to be funneling all avatar sizes down to this smaller size.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If that doesn't work, try this:
Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

I will do that now and post back.

the php edit did not work
But when I did change the Style to the newly created one that fixed it. Thanks!

I found the fix.

Inside the Stlye of my current default. I scrolled down to Common avatar_height. That has been coded with 60. Hence the 60 height it was passing through. I will now change that to the Maximum of the board.


Thank you for your help.

Well I made the change and saved it, but it does not seem to effect the posts.

Do I need to reload the style?

Try going to AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters > Rebuild Avatars

All styles are fine except for the GrayFolio style that is currently the default for the forum. Brilliant!

The rebuild did not work for that one style. The 4 others are fine, including the new one I just created for troubleshooting.

Maybe just a reload of that style is in order.

So it seems if I change the board default to a different style the avatars are then mess up on that one.

So somewhere in the Admin Panel the Default Style has a setting on it. I just am not finding it.

A link to your site would help so we can view the problem using firebug.

I'm having the same issue, seems to only happen on the quick reply.

This worked for me,

open up /includes/class_core.php

Change this line to the dims you want

* The maximum sizes for the "small" profile avatars
*/
define('FIXED_SIZE_AVATAR_WIDTH', 130);
define('FIXED_SIZE_AVATAR_HEIGHT', 130);

Not sure of this is the best way, but it worked for me.
