Hot linking avatars
 

Hello,

I did search the forum and found numerous topics on this subject but none of them helped me out.

I am running vBulletin 2.3.0. I just want people to hot link without having anything stored on my server. LOL We just don't have the space or bandwidth for that. I would really appreciate any help that can be provided.

Thanks again,
Verity

None of them work for you? There are about 3 or 4, have you tried them all?

Also, try replying to the hack's support thread to see if anyone has successfully modified it to work with 2.3.0; I'm guessing that someone has done this already.

Look at John's thread at vB.com's Hints and Tips forum.

In response to Gary, I did try everyone that was available and none worked. Needless to say I'm getting a tad frustrated now. LOL

In response to filburt1, I don't know who John is but I'll go and take a look to see if I can find it.

Thank you both for your responses,
Verity

Filburt1 thanks for that tip, but I still do not want users uploading their avatars to my site. They all already have their own sites they upload to, I just want them to be able to link their avatars to mine.

Thanks anyways,
Verity

It doesn't really have anything to do with the issue at hand.

How so...? It's about preventing hotlinking.

That's the exact opposite of what he wants to do.

There are 2 or 3 hacks that allow you to let your members use external hosts for avatars. Look for them.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems you found it...
