Guest Posting Avatar Location?

[FableTheWolf]

Does anyone happen to know where the image is stored for the avatar icon on the mini profile that is used for unregistered(guest) users? I also assume it's for the welcome message that is sent out for when new users register for accounts on the forum. The image reads "Guest", so it must be the same.

I borrowed a bunch of site code from a friend who had a custom image appearing on his, and so now it pops up on my forum. I've searched for where that might be stored but I can't find it. Probably not looking in the right place. Unfortunately I didn't notice this for some time, and it's been months since I first put the forum together so I'm not sure what code I borrowed anymore, and he hasn't been in touch with his forum for way longer then that so he can't remember where it is either XD

The actual default avatar is here: storage.proboards.com/forum/images/defaultavatar.png

However, you can set the default avatar that guests will use in Admin > Members > Forum Avatars. You'll need to link or upload an image first, then you can set it as the default. This is also the place where you can link / upload "ready-made" avatars that your members can use. Two things to note, however:

(1) Be sure that the images you link / upload do not infringe on any copyrights (Google for free-to-use / royalty-free images)
(2) Additional images to this area will be available to members if they visit Profile > Edit Profile > Avatar (tab) - there will be an option to use a Forum Avatar (this option does not show if there are no images in the Admin > Members > Forum Avatars area).

Lynx I actually did that a long time ago, so that's not the issue. I did make default avatars which work just fine for registered members. I still have this additional "Guest" image from my friend's forum popping up from an unknown code somewhere. I've searched directly for the image link but no such luck. That's why I'm so confused

There are a number of ways to accomplish this. You can a) follow MSG's instructions; b) set the theme avatar in themes > images > default theme avatar; or c) use the layout templates to specify an {if $[current_user.is_guest]} option to display a specific image if a user is a guest.

Does that help at all?

Kami Yes! XD I was writing a reply to tell you that I tried all that but you gave me an idea that helped me fix the problem ^.^ I isolated the override and corrected it. Now it all looks nice again (and I'm free of guilt for image stealing XD) Thank you!
