Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Management Matt Posted August 1, 2011 Management Posted August 1, 2011 This is now in 3.2.1 Global Option: Does this:
Ikadon Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 This is now in 3.2.1 The height is untouched? So I can have 250x500 avatars (just an example)?
Lewis P Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Presumably it'll be limited to your group size limit. That setting appears to only limit the width so it doesn't flow over into the post block.
Management Matt Posted August 1, 2011 Management Posted August 1, 2011 Ikadon - Correct Lewis - Correct Essentially if you enter a max-width, then the width of the full photo will not exceed the width specified but it will maintain the correct aspect ratio. As Lewis said, the max width is to stop it flowing into the post body which would happen if you allowed 600px wide avatars. You can still set per-group width and height maximums. In the screenshot, the second avatar (User 0000) is actually 250px wide but it is shown as 170px wide as per settings. This allows the best flexibility. You can keep large photos on the profile page without it breaking the topic view. Also worth mentioning - you can set that setting to 500px if you like and it will make the user column 520px wide. So whatever you set, it will not flow into the post body. It might look a bit odd, though. Here's a better example:

Ikadon Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Thank you. Glad to hear this. Now I'm waiting for IP.Content to start using all the IPS products with a new project :)
Breadfan Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I'm fine with either option really. What I would like to see is the ability for guest to see the avatars (or at least an Admin CP option).
Rhett Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Matt or any mod, feel free to change the title/first post or amend it, I tried but it seems editing is locked out after some time.
THL Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Is there a simple working hook until the update takes place ?
Pereira Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Good to know a company like IPS actually listens to it's customers. I'll be making my purchase in the coming days. Thank you!
Wilford Tibbetts Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Excellent, Matt! Thank you! Many of my members will be thankful when IPB 3.2.1 finally hits. :D Regards, Wilford Tibbetts
Blind Bandit Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Edit: Never mind the demo is still 3.2.0 so things haven't been updated yet.
Rheddy Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 This is now in 3.2.1 Global Option: [img] [/img] Let me say, that I think I speak for everyone here, THANK YOU MATT AND IPS STAFF, SUPPORT TECHS and whoever else was involved. While we may sound like a lynch mob mentality, we really wanted this feature to remain. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your guys listening to your customers and returning this feature back to the best forum software and community that has ever been created. You guys are GODS (GREAT OMNISCIENT DEVELOPERS)!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Connor T Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Glad you guys got that. Still confused as to what it exactly means, but o well.
Razor S Edge Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Thank you for this addition, Whilst it is no where near what we had in 3.1.4 with the function of having a profile pic and avatar, it is still a great step forward in restoring a major feature so many of use needed to have back.
Feld0 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 This is now in 3.2.1 Global Option: [img] [/img] Does this: [img] [/img] Thanks very much for this, Matt (and the rest of your crew)! I still cannot quite understand why the ability to do this was removed from 3.2.0, but it's good to have it back. We're all used to 150x150 avatars on my forum, so it'll be nice to be able to use them again.
WraithWatcher Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Excellent, thank you for bringing this ability back but I still would prefer the ability to allow members to link their pic to Photobucket & imageshack etc instead of being forced to use Gravatar or upload to our server? Our members are a fan community & often have Avatar & Sig competitions, generally uploading to Photobucket etc, to be able to link sig to PB but be forced to upload avatar seperately to a different site is ridiculous Thanks
TCB Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I've upgraded to 3.2.1 but can't find this new feature anywhere. Where should it be?
Rheddy Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 This really sucks. My forums were upgraded by IPS too and I cannot find this option anywhere either. What happened to the Avatar feature for 3.2.1?
