avatars multip choices here

[Mazinger]

I'm not sure about the nature of accessing uknown files here...

But if you try to acess a file like this:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/custo.../avatar7_1.gif

You'll get Multiple Choices where there appears other files with similar names.

What's the problem with that?
The page is generated by the mod_speling module in Apache.

You might reach other avatars through it, I thought they should be private.

so I assumed that dev. shoud take a look at that.

[Colin F]

Avatars should be private? Why are they shown on every post then?

[Floris]

Avatars are not meant to be private.

[Mazinger]

I understand. But accessing them via this way is not recommended all the time. That look like a folder with no index page - so you can see all files inside.

Here on vBcom you can't go into the custompic/ or avatar/ folder, they will redirect you back to the forum.
