Stopping Members from Uploading Their Own Avatars

Is there any way to make it so that the members can not upload their own avatars and have to choose one from the avatar gallery?

No Option for this.

You can disable the Gallery but can't disable the upload avatar feature to make it so that you have to use the Gallery.

MrMario is right, there is no way to do this. Users always have the option of uploading their own avatars.

In phpBB3, you could add this to your CSS:

Code:

img[src*="users/xx/xx/xx/avatars"] {display: none ! important;}

and it will blank out any avatar uploaded to your board. Replace the xx/xx/xx with the numbers appropriate for your board. Right-click an uploaded avatar on your board to get the URL of the image, and you'll find the numbers.

You could then tell your members that uploaded avatars have been disabled, and they will need to link to an avatar from another site.

What exactly would go in place of the xx/xx/xx?

I guess my instructions weren't specific enough. Go to a post in your forum where you know the member's avatar has been uploaded. Right-click on the avatar to view the image. The URL of the image will contain something of the type:

users/xx/xx/xx/avatars

For example, if you right-click your avatar in this forum and view it, the URL contains:

users/19/22/63/avatars

What you need are the numbers for your forum. I hope this is clearer.

No, I'm still not sure what you mean.
