I agree. That would be very welcome.

Especially if it could have a preview before submitting

(and also given the option to have it as a compulsory field with proper error checking etc.)

Is this working for any of you?

For me it acts like the avatar was added but the image doesnt exist. (So it never uploaded it)

Does this hack depend on the regimagecheck?

(I placed the template edit above that if so it could bypass that)

chatbum, the plugin doesn't have anything to do with the regimagecheck.

What happens if you upload the same avatar via the same method using the Edit Avatar page? And what do you mean it "acts like the avatar was added"?

By saying it acts like the avatar was added, it displays a broken image (image that doesnt exist). So it seems a avatar link was added in the database but the file was never added in the avatar directory.

Oh and it works when i manually do it through the usercp

Yes you're right. There seems to be an error with storing avatars in the filesystem. I'll look into it now and see about an update :)

Okay, it seems to work now. Give it a try :D

Thanks man, working and being used on BeastToast.com :)

Very nice hack. Thank you!

hmm i can't seem to get this to work, i did follow those exact instructions. is their any way you can implement in the part where they can select a pre-uploaded avatar? this way, we make sure they have one, plus they can always change it later.
