Have it default to 0 and change it to 1 once they upload their avatar stuff, then you can point to where their avatar is stored...thats what I would do if I correctly understood your question. [/quote] Thank you for your response. I'm not sure axactly how to go about all this. i'm still pretty new. But yes I do have a sql database that runs all this. here is some code that a freind of mine wrote to maybe do what im trying to do. However it is not complete. I don't know exactly how to make it work with the database. See if this makes any sence to you? / // This mod will check a Nuke CMS for a blank.gif as the user's current avatar. If found, replaces it with their saved SigGen avatar. // // Read user's current avatar from Database $ava_str = "SELECT `user_avatar` FROM `nuke_users` WHERE username = '$member_name' LIMIT 1;"; $ava_sql = $wowdb->query($ava_str); if( $ava_sql ) { print '<span style="color: #FDFF1F;">Guest Avatar replaced for ['.$member_name."]</span><br />\n"; print $ava_sql; } Thanks again for any help you can provide. I'm still learning.
