is there a random avatar mod for new members?

Post by JulieJesta »

so that all new members are auto and randomly assigned an avatar from the boards gallery avatars?
this would be a nice mod, make things more friendly on sites. if all members have avatars it adds colour and personality

just an idea

What happens when someone who doesn't believe in abortion randomly gets a "Pro Choice" avatar ?

I could see maybe a certain section of the gallery with "no image" type avatars being used, but I definately wouldn't let it use the entire gallery with any sort of randomness.

i dont mean the user uploaded ones, the ones the website owner uploads. our avatars are nonoffensive animals, cartoon charecters, brightly coloured large smiles and things like this.

being able to select within the mods options which folders it chooses from would be sweet.

Actually there is a mod to do that. It is one of the serveral settings that it has. Called Default Avatar I have it installed and I love it.

I would heartily recommend reading through the Knowledge Base. I recently have and it has solved a number of questions I had.
EasyMod is great for a vanilla phpBB. Visit my website and see why I do everything by hand. :P
