hi all , was just wondering how can i set the default guest / none selected avatar image for the forum on phpnuke 7.3?
currently when a guest posts no image appears, instead theres that anoying box with the cross in it.
i have tried to configure the avatr under avatar managment in the forum admin section but as "guest" isnt an actual registered user i cant edit the details- because the user does not exist..

can any one help?

thx

Just grab it from the nuke distribution package that you installed nuke from. Since I can't tell what all you've done, look at what avatar it is trying to display and make sure that that avatar is in those 2 folders. That usually solves this type problem. You may also have to update your users table to use blank.gif if the user avatar is missing.

There should also be a 'gallery' folder somwehere around the module/forum/images path, put a blank.gif image in there too, just for good measure.
