Make a user's avatar invisible · **Released**: 04-29-2002

We have had problems on our site with certain users who use offensive
avatars. We realized that it is a waste of our time fighting with them
over it. So I made this hack to make a user's avatar invisible to the
rest of the members. The user himself will see things as usual. The
mods and the admins will see the user avatar as well but in the thread
view screen there will be a red writing below the avatar that says:

Avatar Offender

I have also provided links in the admin CP to turn this option on or
off and another link in the find users that allows you to locate users
with offensive avatars.

Tables affected: user
Templates affected: none
Files affected: avatar.php, showthread.php, admin/user.php

The instructions are pretty simple. It should take no more than 10 minutes to istall this.

Note: If you have already installed this hack, please download the text file again and revise the showthread.php modifications. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Thank's Zzed for this nice hack

I would be intrested in the signature hack also if you have time to do that.

anyway you can just stop a certain user from seeing the offensive avatar, most of our members dont mind but there may be the odd one that takes offence

Don't you just hate people like that?

There is always one person that gets offended by everything.

That would require a different hack.

Actualy all I do is make another usergroup and set permissions to where they can't modify their profile. I call it a "profile lock"

If I have one person complain about another's avatar I just tell them to goto the user cp and "Show user's avatar in their posts?" set it to NO
same can be done with signatures and attachments .

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