Hi there,

I have seen a number of posts regarding the avatar sizing but unfortunately, none of the solutions that I read have worked for me.

I have gone onto the control panel >> general >> avatar management >> personal avatars. I then set the dimensions to say 125x125. Unfortunately, members were still able to upload images that were the size of desktop wallpaper. I tried a few different CSS codes but no luck there either. Perhaps a different code will help.

Any other suggestions to this other than forcing everyone to manually size their image to a proper size?

Thanks,
V

I should also mention that the problem MAY only be when linking pictures from a different URL. Uploading directly from one's computer may not be problematic.

Hello VStrah,

You are correct, the dimensions set in the AP can be bypassed by the link to an off site avatar. The AP option is mainly for uploads. You can resize the avatars with CSS, however, I would need to know the version of your forum. Could you provide a link to your forum ?

Thanks.

I believe it is BB2.

It should say the forum version.

It is BB2.

Add this to your CSS stlyesheet :
Administration Panel > Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet

Code:

.post .postdetails.poster-profile a > img {
  max-height:125px;
  max-width:125px;
}
