I wish to be able to include something like this as an avatar url, but it does not work in either case. How do I make it so this works? It may be a security risk, but it is an absolute necessity.

You can update the URL to the avatar for a given user in the database.

Thank you. What I am looking for is having the user input the url themselves and then let it be moderated. I don't want to do this for 189 users each time they earn a new level. Where can I go to modify the code to allow this style of url?

You need to modify the URL avatar handling code inside register.php.t

I looked at the code and found the problem. The software is not saying if the image is not meeting the size limitations. It simply says that the url does not contain a valid image. This is a confusing message. Is this something that could be updated to provide a more informative message in the main branch?

well a script is a non valid hence the problem. the forum uses get_image_size() function from PHP, if it does not return valid data it assumes that the file is non-valid.

Just to follow up on this, fud works for the aforementioned scripts. It was a matter of avatar size and the message states that it is invalid not the wrong size. My users get the invalid message if their image (static or dynamically generated from a script) is not the correct size. I will modify the text to say the image is not valid or does not meet the size limitations. Or something like that...
