Evandro Felippe Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hi there! Just one suggestion: If a member want to set an avatar, he has two choices:Upload an image from computer to the board server or Enter a URL to an online avatar image Some board admins doesn't allow upload user photo because they doesn't have too much disc space in server, so they disable some features. With avatar there is an option that disable image uploads to server, but as I said, you can use avatar images hosted in any free image host (tinypic, photobucket, imageshack, etc.) Why not do the same with "User Photo"? Allow user to enter URL to an online image for use as "User Photo"? I really would like this. Thanks for your time =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madLyfe Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 i still think that if you have only uploaded one image for the forums or for your profile that the one that doesnt have an image attached to it will default to the one that has an attached image...

Clanerz Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 If you enter a URL in the file browser, it will upload the file from the URL ;) Even tough, the file will be saved in temporary Internet files before upload if I am not wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evandro Felippe Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 I did not know that, thanks :P but then, if you put URL there, will it upload the image to server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clanerz Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes :) What it basicly does: - You enter the URL - It will be downloaded to your temporary files (On your PC) - It gets uploaded to the server - Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evandro Felippe Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 understood! but my point is: allow user to enter URL to an online image for use as "User Photo", without upload to the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 We opted not to allow remotely linked images to reduce XSS and CSRF vulnerability vectors. We wanted to remove the option for avatars as well, but felt it would possibly cause some headaches and drama for users who rely/use that functionality.
