Well...

First of all - It would help if Guest permissions were set to be able to view profiles...

now, all i have to do is change the code and replace a href with img src, i can do that, but if they dont put a picture, nothing will show up, i want am wondering is how if they dont put a picture, how can i make it show a blank picture in its place instead of a red x

You mean something like this? http://www.ls1.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=4112 (My userid on LS1.com is Zed)

This is a hack I did for my board. I haven't published it. Would it interest you?

Cool...

2 Questions...

1.) Could you release it?

2.) How do you get a Minus Postcount?

and if someone doesnt put in a url, what will happen? i want it so if they dont put a url in - it puts a blank image in... i know how to make it so they can put a url in and it will show up...

[Zzed]

I will release this hack.

If there is no URL, the field will show up as blank. ;)

Hellsatan, I altered the user table to allow negative numbers in the post counts. I had a long day I will post that info on my next reply, as well as the release of the hack. ;)

[RDX1]

cool, thanks for both tips :) i want negitive counts also

[Zzed]

Ok here is your hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38258

As for the negative post counts, I have altered 2 tables in my MySql database to allow for negative post counts. And in the control panel I have set up a new status called "Free Post Abuser" which is for post counts -1000 to 0.;)

Free post abusers are given -1000 post count.:D

Here are the mysql commands to allow for negative post counts:

alter table user modify posts smallint(5) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;

alter table usertitle modify minposts smallint(5);


Enjoy. :D
