I have over 10,000 images in my gallery, so it's alot to sort through when looking for an avatar. Instead, I'd like to upload 10-20 custom made avatars for my members to choose from. They would be smaller than my current mini-thumbnail size, probably pixellated images similar to (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.coppermine-gallery.net%2FThemes%2Fcoppermine%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Fprofile_sm.gif&hash=da08c418deb26410654655a7c7b71a3cb27e2b5c) (the "View Profile" icon for this board). And I would be taking out "Upload file" in avatar_manage.php too so members wouldn't try to upload their own.
I know some message boards do this, but my gallery does not bridge any forums, so I'm wondering if there is any way I can get this feature? And if so, how?
Such a feature doesn't exist... means it needs to be coded.
You'd need to modify avatar_manage.php. Also read this as it describes most places where the avatar has been added

Alright, thanks for the reply.
I'll see what I can do with avatar_manage.php :)
