Hi,
Accounts with no profile image are showing a broken image and profile image is scrolled under the header menu, how can I set a default I age that will be forced on profiles with no profile heager photo ?
Thanks .

Via your ACP, go to:

Core>Image Support>Images TAB... you can upload a new "default.png" image there to use as your own replacement.
URL is (yoursite).com/image/admin/images
I made my own image in photoshop that's 184x184 pixels, and about 50kb in size, if that helps.
Don't forget to 'clear cache' afterwards to see changes...ACP>system tools>reset cache (at yoursite.com/core/cache_reset)

I believe your referring to the profile page header image for one of the premium skins, you'll want to go to the ACP > Skins > YOURSKIN > Images tab.

If it is not there, make sure you've uploaded it to your site.

Hope this helps!

Then the image most likely did not get uploaded.

If you've downloaded the skin and then used a FTP program to upload to your site, make sure you've uploaded the profile header image as well. It should be in the img folder for the skin.

If you installed via the Marketplace, try reloading the skin via ACP > Core > Marketplace > Tools > Reload Skins And Module

Be sure to reset your cache as well, ACP > Core > System Core > Tools > Reset Cache

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear it.

Can you let us know which skin it is your using so we can make sure the image is there?

Thanks!

i made a clone of the mogul skin, i experienced the same problem again with another image file that is not updating after upload and cache reset. The skin/image/ upload section might need so looking at.

Make sure you clear your browser cache whenever you change images. It will lead you to believe the image is still there.
