MyBB Community Forums - Allowing Non-Images

It would be useful to some people (me atleast lol) if you could allow links like the following: http://a.random-image.net/sweenster/avatar.jpg to be placed in the avatar box.

It displays a random image: [Image: avatar.jpg]

This is possible. Just add it as an avatar in the avatar URL box.

I use a PHP script for random avatars.

I tried that and it gave me the error message.

Would the php script not present the same problem?

Well, clearly not, as it's what I have right now.

I was thinking something different from what i said :p. Communication breakdown.

Can you link me to a source of the script or something? Thanks for your help.

This is the one I use: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-457...#pid316732

Then you edit it to put the absolute path to the folder with the images, and it randomly does through them.

So i could just upload that to home.html for example and link my avatar to home.html?

It needs to be kept as a PHP file, then just give the link to it in the UCP avatar settings.
