The premise of this mod is simple; it replaces the avatar of a banned user with a picture you want to replace it with, maybe a banned image or something that humiliates the member.
This allows you to put 'Banned' avatars to decent use (those that say banned on them in big, bold letters).
Updates:
Version 1.0: Released
Version 1.1: Replaced MEMBERINFO template change so the 'No Avatar' mods work with this...
Version 1.2 Released which allows this to work on the Legacy Postbit.
How to use:
First, find in Postbit:
Replace with:
Then, in Memberinfo template, find:
And replace with:
Screenshots and Banned Image I used below (or use a banned image from one of the many avatar packs that has them even though they aren't usable by default):
To add to Legacy Template, search for avatar and change that part of the code to:
Common Questions
1. How do I change the image URL for the banned avatar?
You replace images/avatars/banned.PNG with whatever you want to replace it with.
2. What's with the basic default image?
I needed a default, had short time and my board has a distinct gaming theme, therefore the default is of a Glum Reaper from Super Mario RPG.
3. It don't work!
Make sure banned users can use/display avatars. Then the mod should work.
4. Can I submit a banned image?
Yes
