When I used vB2, there was a great hack that only allowed users with a certain (say 1000) posts to be able to choose an avatar. I have done a search on this forum, but can't seem to find it for version 3. Has anyone seen or heard of this for vB3?

Thanks!

Or, possibly tell me the variable for getting a users post count. If I have that, then I can simply do an IF statement around the menu item in the User CP.

you can set who can user avatars in usergroup permissions and also how many posts are needed to use each avatar. so from what i understand what your asking is in the standard vB 3 package;)

Hes asking for a mod that with X amount of posts, the user will be able to upload their own avatar. Not a pre-defined one.

Heres what I suggest...

Have a Standard user group such as 'registered'
Set up a promotion so that when 'registered' gets X amount of posts they move into 'registered2'
Registered can't upload avatars, while registered2 can

There you go ;)

Yes Ironj, was going to do something like that, but I've got 30,000 registered users and would need something a little more automated. Would be a pain in the butt to do this manually :)

This makes sense! I've been searching for this quite long.

Long live Zachery!
