Wondering if it would be at all possible to have an option to either use one avatar globally or upload different avatars for each site? I've seen a couple of Ning sites where they give you the option to either upload a new avatar or use your global avatar. I think this would be a great feature if it was possible to be implemented. Anyone agree?

Hi Nathan.

I think this is a really cool feature request. With that being said, I am struggling with whether this is outside the scope of the module or not. This module was designed to satisfy a specific requirement, and if you take a look at the architecture it would be a fairly significant change to accomplish the feature. Would be interested in seeing some patches, though.

Thinking about how I would attack this, it may be a good option to start with this module to provide the global avatar. If you were to use the content_profile module, you could create a CCK image field that would be your "local" avatar. Then you could do the logic in a MODULE_preprocess_user_picture() override to display either the "global" or "local" avatar.

Thanks,
Chris
