Crazy avatar request
Markos

Would it be possible to hack vbulletin and let us link to an avatar without it being stored locally on the server? The reason I ask is because I've got a neat php script on my site that pulls up a random image from a folder. If I use that as the url for my avatar, though, it picks a random image but then stores that one image on the server. Thus defeating the point of a random-image getting script. This isn't too high up on my priorities, just something that would be nice.

Ah, I found that they've got this hack (or something similar) at vbulletin.org:

The main use for an avatar is to quickly recognise a poster. Continually changing on a random basis messes it up.

That may be good or bad, depending on your views.

If done poorly, this could be confusing. But if done well, it could be really cool.

I never said it was a bad thing.

Zylka, you need to change back to your old avatar series.
This lot gives you withdrawal symptoms.
