This is a test post

But my keyboard shortcut of posting a thread still works (Shift + Alt + S.... love that one!).

The only drawback with that is it doesn't seem to work in the Advanced options reply page.

It seems that some settings need to be changed:

In order to start new threads in this forum.

In order to insert a custom picture (unless it related to the number of posts we answer to).

Hey Dennis,

I created a test user with just normal rights, and created a test post in this forum. (You can find it here.) I was able to create the post without issue, and was able to upload pictures. Are you seeing something different?

dont mind me. Just testing to see if I loaded my avatar correcly

[Zack Barresse]

Nope, I see none.

Are you sure you've got it in the Avatar section? You've got a profile pic, but I don't see an avatar...

It's probably my inexperience. I have sorted myself out a Gravatar which if I have my understaing correctly should associate to my email address.

I am probably missing some fundamental issue - hence nothing...?

I'll keep playing unless anyone can suggest a reason?

Hi Oli,

Unfortunately, Gravatars aren't supported in vBulletin yet. There's been a lot of call for them on their site, but nothing yet. I do see that someone put together a hack for an older version at vbulletin.org, but they haven't ported it to vbulletin 4.x, which is what I'm running here.

I'll take a deeper look over the weekend, as some posts left me with the impression that there still could be a way, it just may required more php skills than I currently possess. We'll see.

Thank you for the info. I'd appreciate it if you can but don't bust your



Oli

I was thinking it would be kind of a cool addition, actually. I wasn't aware of Gravatar, but I can see the value in it for those who frequent lots of blogs/forums.

I'd never heard of it before it was mentioned in this thread. That would be very cool. I'd use it.
