I would suggest if you use this that you edit the phrase:
may_upload_custom_image or may_upload_custom_image_controls

Hey...what do ya know I was looking for this lol. I had to modify it a bit but I got it the way I like.

ooops forgot about that phrase. First post updated. I'll update the file later.

I'm confused... Why would you let them upload from a web site, and not their PC? I don't get it.

I could easily FTP an image from my machine to a web site and add it that way.

It was a request, so I made it.

I'm not using it myself as I have no need for it.

I guess there was a reason for the request, I just didn't ask what it was.

Cause you might not like to use your bandwidth. I was hoping this method would prevent that. I see it doesn't. :ermm:

Nope, it doesn't. vBulletin doesn't allow you to specify an external avatar by default. (There may be a hack for it.) Even using the web link, it's still uploaded to your server.

Oh well I was hoping for this method to help. Thanks anyway.

Thanks.
