Is there a way to define a default user icon?

ericcarl

I'd love to be able to set up my forum to have a default user icon assigned to all new accounts. Searched through the plugins but I couldn't seem to find one for this. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you enable Gravatar and replace the default.gif with set Plugins.Gravatar.DefaultAvatar in your config with a path to your own image, that basically accomplishes this (with the benefit of support Gravatar if the user has that too).

Thanks @Lincoln, that sounds like a good solution. I've activated the Gravatar plugin but the plugin doesn't actually seem to be working. I made a new test user account and don't see any kind of default icon. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help!

I take that back - it IS working. What was throwing me off was that on user profile pages, their profile image usually displayed in the top left corner (div class="Photo") still remained blank. I was expecting to see the default gravatar icon in that location, but apparently it only shows up next to posts or activity items. Thanks for the help!
