I don't know if this is possible on cloud.

Looked at the system more in depth. There are no tools to change the default avatar in Cloud.

With the download/core version you would overwrite the default images located in /core/images/default/

I think it's still possible using Replacement Variable Manager.

You would do a replacement of each of these separately:

Code:

<img src="./core/images/default/default_avatar_thumb.png"

Code:

<img src="./core/images/default/default_avatar_medium.png"

Code:

<img src="./core/images/default/default_avatar_large.png"

with the corresponding custom avatar you uploaded in vBCloud File Manager.

Code:

<img src="/path/to/the/avatar/thumb.png"

Code:

<img src="/path/to/the/avatar/medium.png"

Code:

<img src="/path/to/the/avatar/large.png"

respectively.

So i copy and paste each of those codes and replace them with the image url that i want to use in the CSS?

Yes. You would do each of them in a separate replacement. You need to upload your own avatars first with different sizes: thumb (32x32), medium (64x64) and large (200x200).

Hi, is it possible for you to do a tutorial for it, Like a video or a detailed post about this, I tried what you said and i dont think i did it right, it removed the default image and replaced it with words.

You need to upload your preferred image via the vB Cloud file manager first (in the admincp).
When you have done this, it will give you a URL with a lot of numbers in the path.

Copy this URL, and use it as the replacement variable in Glenn's instructions.
