User Upgrade Question

[Andy Larkins]

I'm an putting in user upgrade system. One of the upgrades I was looking involved signature or avatars. I have a user base of about 2000 now, lets say 200 of them have an avatar. What happens when I disable avatars for the basic user group? Will people that already have avatars be able to keep them?

Avatars are a major part of XenForo (They're used for showing last poster in a topic, as well as where you have posted yourself).

good point - so then what about Signatures...If they already have one and I change the respective group permission what happens to those that have one?

It wouldn't appear afaik.

The permission related to signatures only applies to being able to edit them.

Any existing signatures will remain.

You would need to run an SQL query to remove them all, after changing the permission.

UPDATE xf_user_profile set signature = ''

Thank you Brogan. That's what I needed.
