Avatar Hack (if it's not already done)

[Warlord]

When registerring and in your user cp the avatar display layout is kind of annoying (IMO). Can someone make a hack that has the avatar listing in a drop down box and when one is selected the avatar shows up to the right of the drop down box? Or if this hack has been made already could someone point me in the right direction please?

Version 2.2.1

I want it to appear something like this in both the registration as well as in the user cp

I believe that's already a released hack, try searching for "Avatar hack", or just "Avatar". You should come across it with little to no effort :)

Thank you very much valkrye, I was starting to think everyone put me on ignore for some reason. LOL :D

Ok, this is the closest thing I could find to what I'm looking for.

Which looks like this...

It's not quite what I'm looking for. The avatars on my board are quite a bit larger than usual and I'm looking for something that would show each individual avatar as it is selected like in the screen shot I posted earlier.

Anyone have anything like that?

[Warlord]

But I'd rather not write out each line of code we need to list all of our avatars. Is there a way to do it with variables so I won't have to do that?

[Warlord]

ok, I'm thinking we have to edit the avatars template, but can someone show me how please? I'm still a newbie :(

[Warlord]

Could someone please just lend a hand explaining how I would even attempt this? I'm not asking anyone to write it, since no one seems to want to anyway....

I just need a push in the right direction... please help.

[Palmer ofShinra]

I'm on it

[Warlord]

Thanks bud. :)

(BTW I added those instructions on the Glowing Staff usernames to make it work on 2.2.1, it should really be in finished hacks now i think)
