Check the path to the avatars in Admin -> Attachments and Avatars -> Avatar Settings.

everything as for avatars are empty. Nothing is there.
I thought the issues would be under smileys so I checked the path to that. I think it was right.
can you give me a example of how the path to smileys would be written?

You should be getting the broken image icon (red X).  Right click on one, click "Properties", and it will give you the path it's currently using.  Smileys are located in www.yourdomain.com/forumroot/Smileys.  The "Base URL to all smiley sets" is in Admin -> Smileys and Message Icons -> Settings.

EDIT:
What I did so far was went into my Cpanel>File manager>Public_HTML>Forums>The current Theme I'm using>Smileys
Copied the path at the top left corner and used that was the path to my smileys. Still did not work. This was tried for both my current theme and the core theme or default theme W/e its called.

Did you set the base url and absolute path in Admin -> Smileys and Message Icons -> Settings and select Default smiley set?

Yes I did. This did not work on the default theme as well. So I tried ti use a theme that I downloaded from here and they still did not work.

The smileys are in the /Smileys/ subdirectory in your forum root - www.thenewch.net/forums/Smileys/.  I'm able to link directly to the default set and see the smileys, so they're where they're supposed to be.  Try it:  www.thenewch.net/forums/Smileys/default/angel.gif

Doesn't matter which theme you're using, if the path to the smileys is incorrect, they won't show.

The first link took me to my forum second link showed me a smiley....
When I post a message or send a PM this is what I see.

have you verified your smileys path in the admin panel?

Shawn90

I think its right. Is there away where I can just disable the smileys?
Detroit Police Officer

Sir Osis of Liver


If base url and absolute path are correct, smileys would be working.  There's no option to disable smileys, and it would be much easier (and make more sense) to fix the paths rather than code them out.

i know how to get to it. I'm asking what do i set it as.?
Detroit Police Officer

Sir Osis of Liver

Base url is your forum url - hxxp://www.yourdomain.com/yourforum/Smileys

Absolute path is /yourserveraddress/yourforum/Smileys.  If you don't know the absolute path, look in Admin -> Server Settings -> Database and Paths -> SMF Directory

If you want to set up a temp admin account and pm the un/pw, I'll take a look.

Ok, it's fixed. You didn't have the http:// in the base url, and it was causing this -

hxxp://www.thenewch.net/forums/www.thenewch.net/forums/Smileys/akyhne/SoLoSMiLeYS1/angry.gif

If you right click on the broken image icon, it shows you the incorrect path.  One of the smiley sets (Akyhne's Set) is ng.  May have been deleted from your server.  The default smiley set is selected in Admin -> Current Theme ->  Theme Options and Preferences.

Nice theme.
