I got a email today that one of my users got in trouble with NukeSentinel for trying to choose I avatar I think... this is the reason I got via email (several of them):

Do anyone know why?

yes,thats me when i tried same address.
but your not banned..
so what about the avatar ?

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 8:24 am

yeah weird... there are no ip's showing up in the banned ip's section.

looks like you tried to load that address just as anonymous user?

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 8:28 am

yes,because the url is avatarsave i couldnt do that....
so thats why anonymous,im no member or logged in...

but let me ask for the third time...
does that avatar excist ?

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 8:33 am

it sure does... maybe the user who attempted it wasnt logged in properly... although it did come up with his user name... unless that was grabbed from a previous ip?

Code:

http://burnt-clan.com/modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery/avatar (1602).gif

hmm having trouble displaying above image... could it be because of the spaces?

well i cant find it in any way...
when visiting [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

in whatever form,it still goes to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

yeah thats not the right link, you forgot the space in the link... in my comment there is a space between the avatar & (

eg = galler/avatar_(1602).gif
(where _ = blank space)

Copy and paste this line and it will work:

Code:

Hitwalker is correct, the avatar does not exist - atleast not with the file name or path you have given.
Make sure the filename for the image does not have any spaces or other non alpha-numeric characters in it.
