What's the secret for replacing the customizable avatar with a profile photo from a linked file? I can't seem to get rid of little man. Is there an option to turn the little guy off so that my linked photo will display?

I've cleared my cache. It's been at least an hour since I updated my profile pic.


Thankee kindly.

I was under the impression that once you chose to go with the site avatar, you couldn't go back to photos and GIFs. I thought there was a warning when I made my decision.

I KNOW I did not get a warning when I signed up. That was a while ago, but still.

The admins don't come here, and have previously stated that they aren't going to make updates to the site as the version of the software is VERY old.

While I understand that; I wish there was a way to update the site/software without losing all of the content.

I don't have much experience with PHPBB, but I don't think the site would need to be updated. If someone had access to the database, they could change the avatar table value. Might be as simple as changing a 1 to a 0 for whichever user wanted their avatar removed. Or I could be completely wrong. Very Happy
