Avatar Gallery

In the Avatar Gallery I think there should a zipped file that includes all the graphics. So an admin doesn't have to download each Avatar one by one. please i would like to hear some feed back.

If users constantly submit new avatars, the .zip file must be updated all the time.
What if the number of images grows to let's say 1000. Do you want to download a zip containing that many avatars? You will have to sort out those images you want to add to your board anyway.
So what would be the use of such a file?

well I guess for those of us who are on cable or DSL it could be an advantage. however that would be taking up space on the original server as well.

and if ziped up and extracted with full paths it should all replicate the original folders.

There is a simple method to save many avatars in one step, without zip file:
Save the website on disk, then all image visible on the screen will be saved to disk, too. So you can save the avatars in portions of 50, which is not bad.

For me its ok like this. I like the possibility to look at the avatars. Sometimes just look into the archive, without downloading images. Furthermore the archive is growing rapidly at the moment. In my board, I won't activate hundreth's of avatars, since the users anyway can choose an individual avatar by providing a link to an url.

I too just like to look through whats there  We're going to be adding an IP logger though soon so that we don't get people trying to up the download counts of their avatars

Yep, good idea!
