Actually, that screen shot was taken from a forum ...

I have a problem with the vbadvanced panel. First off it just displays the text "Edit Your Avatar" and not the avatar, and the link orginates from mysite.com/home/profile.php?&do=editavatar and not from mysite.com/forums/profile.php?&do=editavatar How and where can I change this so it works?

biggkay · #48 12-10-2004, 11:27 PM

Anybody??

Can you force the avatar profile to be fixed at a certain dimension. The template starts looking ugly with the larger avatars

i installed, then uninstalled... kinda cluttered looking...

nice work, though...

Any ideas on how to add this to the CMPS only??

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
