Posted this again in a readable format (Ommiting the preview, that destroys the paragraphs....) This suggestion is to important for me:
-----
Hi,
one of the weak points of the forum is the user pictures.
A feature which functionality lies to a great extend in the hands of the users themselfes... (size, and URL)....
On my board I more and more diecover dead links to user pictures, if they removed their pic from its location later. Whatever the reason is, broken links always give a bad impression on the forum's look...
There should be an admin tool that scans to old messages and detects and deletes URLs to non existend pics from time to time.
Alternative way:
-----------------
Or the system should be changed (although uploads in general might be prohibited in the prefs), the user should be able to upload his pic to a certain destination. The admin can then check the pic and set the url. If the user wants to kill the pic later, the admin can replace it simply with a transparent gif....
Good idea?
Workaround
-------------
For now I probably hack that, make the Pic-URL field not enterable and set the LANGUAGE to: "Please mail your pic to the admin, he will set it up for you".
