[TIP] Bandwidth savings tip
 

For those of us with big boards, and with avatars enabled, here is a small piece of code I added to my postbit (in my case postbit_legacy) template, which makes it so that guests do not see avatars.

FIND:
------
<if condition="$show['avatar']">

ABOVE ADD:
------------
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1)">
&nbsp;
<else />

THEN FIND (couple lines down):
-------------------------------
</div>
</if>

BELOW ADD:
-------------
</if>

thats it... simple yet effective.

Very cool

Nice. Thanks.

In my postbit if I add the </if> where you suggest it hides all data on left.
Adding the </if> just after;
It works great.

and if you have avatar categories, make all the images hosted in other servers so that the main forum is faster and lighter

u can just wrap the code in <if condition="$show['member']"></if>

to be :

I even developed a better looking and band width saving one :
Find and replace :
with :
this will :
1- for members show avatars as normal
2- for visitors show avatars in first post only
