Yeah, that looks right to me. Do you know if you have any kind of caching of php code going on on your server?

Another thought is that there could possibly be some invisible characters at the beginning, but I'm pretty sure that notepad is OK to use and shouldn't cause that.

Did you look at the file that's on your server to make sure it's actually getting overwritten?

[shibby2]

YEa, I looked at the file that is uploaded on the server, looks the same.

I have no idea if I have caching of php code... how can I find that out?

[kh99]

I actually don't know - we have some kind of caching set up where I have to refresh it to get changes to take effect, but we have a web page to do that so I don't know what to tell you. But if you had that then your original change shouldn't have had any effect, so that's probably not the issue. (and your host probably would have given you instructions).

How often do you upload files? I was thinking it might be a problem with ascii vs. binary mode when ftping, but if so you'd probably know it from other files having problems.

If there was some way to get me the file I'd look at it for you, but you probably don't want to post it here and you can't attach to PMs.

[shibby2]

So you would need the whole config.php file? Can I email it to you or something?

Or woudlnt i be able to just paste it in a PM?

[kh99]

You could paste it, but I'm afraid that might hide what I'd be looking for. Really it's a long shot that I'd notice something that you didn't, but I don't know what else to tell you.

I'll send you a PM.

Got it working!!!

Wow, that was so weird, Ive never seen anything like that before. It looked fine, but wasnt. lol

I downloaded phpcoder and used that, and sure enough it showed it in there too. Removed it, saved, and reuploaded. Works now!

Thank you soooo much for all the help!

So do you think I should try adding that bit of code again? lol

Glad you got it fixed. I don't know if you're kidding or not, but I think you should be OK as long as you use that new editor.

[shibby2]

Yea I think it'll be ok now.. but maybe I'll wait til off-peak hours this time. lol

Thanks again!

Alright, tried it again. Everything works fine with the code given. The custom avatar does show if a user has one. If he doesnt have one, it's just blank.. no avatar.

So how exactly would I get the "No Avatar" image to show for those who don't have one?

The image is:

Thanks!

Oops - that is what you were asking about originally. Try this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[avatarid]"><img src="$bbuserinfo[avatarpath]" alt="Your avatar" border="0" /><else /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['hascustomavatar'] AND $vboptions['avatarenabled']"><if condition="$vboptions['usefileavatar']"><img src="{$bbuserinfo[avatarurl]}/avatar{$bbuserinfo[userid]}_{$bbuserinfo[avatarrevision]}.gif"<else /><img src="image.php?{$session[sessionurl_q]}u={$bbuserinfo[userid]}&amp;dateline={$bbuserinfo[avatardateline]}"</if><if condition="$bbuserinfo['avwidth'] AND $bbuserinfo['avheight']"> width="{$bbuserinfo[avwidth]}" height="{$bbuserinfo[avheight]}"</if> alt="Your avatar" border="0" /><else /><img src="images/avatars/noavatar.jpg" alt="Your avatar" border="0" /></if></if>
