    Disabled the normal Profile Picture link.

    The " issue is strange. I could see the avatar when logged as TosaInu. I removed some stuff around it, it did look ok and the normal avatar uses it as well (link to profile and alt tag). Now it seems to work in Experimental. No idea why.

    Right now I see a similar thing with your not selected default avatar. I'll have to see what changed this.

    To say I understand it is claiming too much.

    When you don't have a normal avatar it displays an empty image. It also does that when the urlavatar is empty. For some reason it can't pull that off when both are empty. It doesn't make any sense here either.

    Theother's rationale for dimension and filesize sounds good to me. End-user flexibility with limits that guarantee reasonable performance for "lowest common denominator" patrons .

    Once/if this goes through would I need a picture editor to use a custom avatar? The picture I am currently looking at is one of Kenshin on his horse at a battle and is much larger than the current avatar size. If anyone would like to see it here it is http://www.sinister-designs.com/grap...rutora2-2.html

    Is this something that the rest of us should be experimenting with yet, or is it still just Therother and Tosa figuring it out?

    I turned the DUA switch on and added a .gif file URL (in an [img ] bracket, but this changed nothing.

    Can we help test or should I just go back to the Main Hall and wait for further orders?

    The basics all seem to be in place and working well. My understanding is that Tosa is just waiting for us to decide on fair limits for the new system before putting it live.

    In the meantime you can preview what it will look like by activating DUA and looking at Tosa's posts. You should see two avatars, exactly as in the pictures above: his normal system one, and a url avatar (the top one).

    You can also have a look at his profile to see a profile picture (just a larger version of his url avatar). All members can all add profile pictures now; I have one in my profile also.

    Yes I see two avatars when I view Tosa's posts, so the DUA switch is working.

    This is great, something I think many Organs will enjoy.

    Is there a 'best' format (jpg, gif, tif) for the custom avatars?
