Our CSS Stylesheet is set to automatically resize avatar pics to 80 x 80.  The avatar image pixel size is not the issue here.

Some of our users like to load animated avatar pics.  They are resized without problems.  However, these animation pics still require substantial FILE SIZE (Mb) and that slows the browsing experience for some other users.

In some cases, some people have repeatedly linked 2 Gb avatar files.

Is there a means by which we can prevent an avatar pic from loading if:
(a) the file size is larger than X Kb? (50 Kb) AND/OR
(b) is an animation file (*.gif)?

Our forum is running on "Invision".

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers, PK.

Hi

AP < Display < Avatars Management < Personal Avatars

By putting a smaller number, it should stop the user from uploading them.

Thanks for the reply.   

Unfortunately there's no option there to limit the file Kb size, and the only option is the maximum pixel dimensions (e.g. 80 x 80) - we already have both that and our CSS stylesheet set for 80x80.

For the moment I'm just having to ask users who link to off-site avatars to be responsible and then manually check their animated avatar Kb file size.

Then if they keep linking multi-Gb animations I can go into admin and disable their ability to display any personalized avatar (a last resort).

Hello,

We don't have option to limit the file size to upload for now. Sorry.

I'm not sure if it can be achieved by JS coding. (I believe it can only be done by PHP)

Hi

Unfortunately, PHP coding isn't advisable nor is it allowed in Forumotion for security purposes if you want to ask how .

Thanks Jophy & Pizza Boi - I appreciate your answers - it's good to know so I can stop looking for a solution.  

My manual workaround solution should do fine.
