Some insight please

I'm new to creating a forum so I'm just flailing about hoping to be able to figure it out myself but something is really stumping me. 

I've been on forums that are using the same skin that I am using but the difference is the mini profile. I'm not able to change the avatar for it but when I visit one site the option to change it is there.

Generally speaking the Avatar is a separate tab of the Edit Profile section. Do you not see the Avatar tab?

Yes I can change my avatar and if you hover over the mini profile you'll see the avatar there, but the default image of the mini profile can not be changed nor is it in the settings

Hi,

The avatar is most likely hard coded into the template and will need to be removed. Can you provide a link to your forum?

[maximillian1]

Yes I added it earlier it should be at the top of the forum

Hi,

This was actually in the CSS and not the templates. On line 1901 you'll find the URL image.ibb.co/giJsPy/ReAv.png which you can then replace with your own linked image if you wish.

Thank you for the update. But I'm wondering how do I get the option to change it from the settings so everyone can do it instead of searching the code. The screenshot I sent from another site had the option in settings

Hi,

Either way you'll need to remove this "default" avatar that is hard coded in.

This theme is heavily customized and if you aren't familiar or comfortable with editing it, I would suggest finding another theme that better suits your needs.
