    Is there a way to hotlink to an offsite image for an avatar instead of uploading it?

    My gamercard automatically updates on other forums, but over here I have to manually update.

    I'm not expert on how the system works but there's currently an option to load an avatar from a URL - couldn't you just use that? Or does it not update once loaded?

      I can load it, but its only a still which gets uploaded onto the site, so if the original avatar on mygamercard.com changes, it wont automatically change on here.

        I believe Neil is testing something like that for the new version of the forum. Not sure when it will be ready for the upgrade though. He's a busy man. So, yeah it's not possible atm, but will be soonish.

            This often happens due to a bug in many PHP forums - offsite linking conveniently ignores file size and image size restraints, leading to some plank uploading a 600x600 avatar.

            This may not happen on vBulletin; I'm pretty sure it happens on PhpBB though, and perhaps even Invision boards.

              Nah, it's just the new version of the Vbulletin code. Visually, there will be very little change.
