"Custom avatar url" is not working?

Hi, I have put "/html/assets/AvatarLARGE.png" in the Custom avatar field. But when a user registers in community, he doesn't get this image. Any solution?

    Hi,

     

    I think that the main problem is that by default the configuration is set to pick a random avatar for new users. That can be disabled, causing the url specified in the Admin to be used instead.

     

    Let me know and I can quickly change it on stage for you (assuming you're working on http://gnapi98748.stage.lithium.com)

Just an FYI as well. The value should be an absolute path. We just added a tooltip for this in the UI that will be in the next release.

    ... or a reference to a community avatar using this syntax: "avatar:cubist/animals/cat" 

    (cubist theme, animals collection, cat avatar)

    Thank you Susan for additional ino,
    I'am using a custom avatar image

      Since you added it as an asset, I think you need to use the absolute url...

      Yes. Because it's an asset, use the absolute path.
