Is there anyway to force users to import their Facebook pic as avatar

Most users in my forum do not update their profiles or avatar.

Anyway to make it more interesting?

There is no code in vBulletin to facilitate this directly, nor is there a 'MOD' that I know of -- I can easily be wrong. You might try vbsocial's products, maybe they have something you can use.

You could use this to display the users Facebook profile picture instead of the users avatar with very little work, but it would not import the external image. I used this method years ago before I really dove into opengraph and vbulletin.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs.../user/picture/

-------------------

If your interested there are plenty of CURL repositories that explain how to import an external image.

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