Visitor Messages profile images not showing up
 

Hi,
For some reason, on my site, whenever a user sends a visitor message, the recipient sees the message but only a ? instead of the senders picture. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

The ? means they dont have a picture.

No, everyone of them has a picture in their profiles. I want the same profile picture to show up when they send a visitor message.

ssslippy is right, they don't have a picture. Are you using the default avatar hack? If so, I believe that is your problem.

I have just updated to 3.7 and haven't made any updates so I guess I am using the default. What hack should I install in order to get this issue fixed?

Edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Do you still have the same problem?

Umm... I sortaa fixed the problem yesterday. I changed the image source in visitormessages.php from avatar to point to the profile picture. Had to give a standard width and height however.

yeah profile pics and avatars are separate. You could always disable profile pics and rename instances of 'avatar' to 'profile pic'. then in the memberinfo template change the code to put a proper sized avatar on there. I hate that tiny avatar pic personally. this way there'd only be one type of image that would display everywhere, it would in essence be the avatar but would appear to be called 'profile pic'.. im only suggesting this as im trying to think of a way to make it so you wouldnt have to edit the core files. plus the edit youve done applies to visitor msg, not other msg's like pm's and such.
