PhpBB3 BBCodes

when i started up the phpbb3, i set the maximum avatar image size to be 60x60.
the avatars resized smaller and fine to 60x60, but i realized it was too small

so i increased the size limit to 150x150, saved it
but people's avatar's did not reflect the increase, and are still showing reduced limits of 60x60

Its not the settings in ACP that makes the size of the avatar.
Its depending on the size of the avatar that the users upload.

The ACP settings is only minimum and maximum size.

yes i know that.
but if you follow the chronology of my example
1. converted to phpbb3
2. set avatar limit to 60x60. effect = fine. avatars only 60x60
3. saw that avatars displaying quite small at 60x60, so increased limit to 150x150.
4. effect. people with greater avatar dimensions like 200x200 or even 100x100 don't reflect changes and persist on showing 60x60 only.
5. hard solution would be each individual user to go to their own ucp and reset their avatars, but im sure you could help me to work around this to be automatically controllable on my side

1. converted to phpbb3 I follow you on that
2. set avatar limit to 60x60. effect = fine. avatars only 60x60 Fine
3. saw that avatars displaying quite small at 60x60, so increased limit to 150x150. Fine
4. effect. people with greater avatar dimensions like 200x200 or even 100x100 don't reflect changes and persist on showing 60x60 only. I dont get you here. If a user has uploaded an avatar size 60x60 px and you change the max size to 200px the users avatar size would still be 60x60
5. hard solution would be each individual user to go to their own ucp and reset their avatars, but im sure you could help me to work around this to be automatically controllable on my side Thats the way it works. Its the avatar size when it is uploaded that is displayed.

-no sir. i guess you are talking about user uploading the NEW AVATAR on the next day. (that is working fine) but i am talking about user's old avatar (after converting everything) that is sized 200px or more which are not reflecting the resize and is stuck at 60x60 (when i first set the parameters).

ergo, i am talking about old avatars carried over from phpbb2 that say "displaying 60x60 resized from 200x160" or something to that effect.

What is this resize you are talking about?
PhpBB does not have a function that resizes Avatars.

Lets make it simple.
I have set the max avatar size to 100 x 100 px and you upload an avatar that is 100 x 100 px.

2 days later I decide to change max size to 80 x 80 px
Your Avatar will still have the same size 100 x 100 px.

A week later I change max avatar size to 200 px.
Your Avatar will still have the same size 100 x 100 px.

PhpBB does not resize users avatars according to the setting in ACP.
Avatars continues to have the same size as when they were uploaded, no matter what changes you make in the settings in ACP.
