Kath,

i've just implemented your hack - works great (only on the registration page there are no images shown - on the modify profile they are all shown correctly. I've checked your install docs and my templates more than once ... hmmm ...) !

A suggestion: I'm using a simple cgi-script for image-uploads what works fine - the perfect thing would be:

The user could choose an avatar in his profile like in your hack but additionally: If the user chooses "none" he could optionally enter an url to his avatar in an additional field ... if he chooses a "predefined" one - the entry in the URL-Field would be ignored ...

Possible?

TB2:

I'll check the register thing out in the morning. I'm in the middle of doing the private avatar with user uploads version, and trying to fix the dHTML in Netscape problem, so I'll add it to the list.

As far as allowing users to enter avatars held off site, I think most site operators would be hesitant, because of image dimension and load times concerns.
