rich Message #5965, posted at 13:03, 22/2/2002
Unregistered user Okay, so I've hacked Tim's script without telling him, so this might go t*ts up, but I've altered viewthread.php so that if an image exists in /member_images/ that corresponds to the author's username then it gets displayed next to their name. This means, for instance, I just have to upload an image called rich.gif and the weirdy-beardy one appears. This is much preferable to using the smileys stuff which requires much more hacking around with member files, smiley code, smiley options etc. etc.

I don't think we should allow user upload because you just know that someone will upload an 800x600 screen and royally screw up all the forums, so we'll just say this is a little extra for people with 150+ posts or site helpers. Sound reasonable?

Unregistered user I don;t know if Tim's busy or something but I haven't heard from him about the alpha-board message I sent to him or seen him on the forums.

Unregistered user Now I'm confused. Webmail returned an error for the image you sent by the way Rich.

Yes sounds good Rich.

Sure, but what type? It's not like there's a generic Andrew icon wink

Email me your requirements. I could mod up one of those semi-realistic smileys I did a while back so you can have a pic of yourself next to every post...?

He's not busy - he's just trying to avoid doing his dissertation due in four weeks wink

Awww.... smile

Anyway, I've only had net access since September, so I've done pretty well... perhaps a bit too well...

Or he could have a compass pointing West...

Actually, come to think of it, that's the worst idea I've ever had. Forget I mentioned it.
