ok, so, i have a new phpbb forum, and i think i have most of the controls down, but, i have my avatar max width and height to be 80, and yet, one of my friends managed to post one thats like, 150x150, how did that manage to work out? is there somewhere else i have to edit besides the phpbb_config in php myadmin?


thanks...zepp

can i see your forum by any chance? maybe take a screenie of your settings fromt he admin page, blanking out any important information.

http://www.howellbands.com/forum/ is the forum...its the newest member with the avatar

http://www.howellbands.com/ss.jpg is the screenshot of phpbb_config, highlighted it so you knew, page 2 under "browse", which is where settings get changed.

I think you can only set the width and height of the avatar they upload.

go to;
phpBB Administration > General Admin > Configuration

then find;
Avatar Settings

change;
Maximum Avatar Dimensions

there you go :)

i already have them set at 80x80, through my database, im thinking its true what jen said, even though no where does it say images from another site cant have maximum settings, so i have no clue where to go from here

why don't you disable avatar uploading

avatar uploading is disabled, all i have is so users can link from other sites so it takes up none of my space, that is all that the avatar max size works for, im trying to figure out how to limit the avatar size of those who link from another website

this is a toughy

wow that is a toughie. i think vbulletin is the only one that supports scanning of linked images, but i am not sure.

found this on phpbb hacks...
