S san00b Member Oct 19, 2011 #1 Was wondering if XenForo allowed users to have avatars hosted on a different website? My bandwidth usage this month has been enormous, and I've traced it all back to the avatars.

Jake Bunce Well-known member Oct 19, 2011 #2 There is no such option. XenForo resizes the avatars for different areas so the images have to be stored on the server. You have the option to change the path and URL for the data directory by setting externalDataPath and externalDataUrl in the config file: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/static-xxx-tld.19250/ That can allow you to offload those requests to another server.
