can't download.... got a main.cgi file.

Wonderfull Qasic! I know, it's a pro/contra thing but can it be modified so that swf can be displayed?

Maybe a small line of extra code under the jpg?

I know.. i hate it when people make it dl threw the .cgi. Because on mac os 9 exporer, it thinks the file to download is the .cgi file and :- just a hasle to go to windows dl the file transfer it to the other computer.

Anyway, nice hack

That's weird .. it should recognize the Content-type header that is sent. No worries though, just rename the file to .zip and StuffIt Expander should expand it with no problems!

Qasic, i have modified this hack so that it can point to flash swf avatars.

It is not a replacement (if/else), the avatar can only be displayed when the avatar-image is turned off. But i'm sure this could be done to.

Further...it uses one of the extra custom profilefields. Only with your permission, i make it public with all the info in a zip or textfile.

does this work together with the normal avatar hack?

Yes it does but it needs another profilefield and the $this_img renamed. <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Thanks Variables, I will give it a shot <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Is there a way to make the avatar be 64 x 64?

Sounds good, I might give it a try later.

Qasic you going to port over your regular avatar hack as well?

Sure, send me the SWF version and I'll post it on my site.

I'll try to port over the Avatar hack to 6.2 on Saturday but no gurantees. I know of one individual on use the regular Avatar hack on 6.2 ... very easy fix It all depends on the schedule of free them I have (which is very limited right now).
