JS 4.3.0 Professional
I created a new avatar to use as default which was loaded to Pro Features => Profile. It worked fine in Registration and Change Profile Picture, but it did not change the default avatar on the stream so I followed the instructions I found in your Wiki and created a directory /ROOT/templates/MyTemplate/html/com_community/images. In this directory I placed my new default avatars and named them user-Male.jpg and user-Male-thumb-jpg plus the female ones. This is supposed to override the JS standard default avatar in the stream, but it does not. I have checked spelling and cleared cache. Please see attached screen shot for avatar on stream and what is shown in the web console.
What am I doing wrong?
Rgds,
Gunnar

Next year sounds good. That is in about 12 hrs your time :-)

Actually there must be a source code in an earlier version that works, otherwise the description in your Wiki would not have been there.

Thank you Dimas.
This was quick and it worked fine. I now have a default avatar which is a bit more low profile (see attachement) which enhances the focus on profiles with personal photos. What I found strange was, that there was a user- zip-file residing next to user.php. It does not matter now, but it was in the download from JS and I guess that must have originally landed there by mistake (see attachment).
I spent some time time looking at the SOCIALZE demo yesterday and came to the conclusion that I need it so I will acquire it today. One of my concerns though, it that there is too much open white space in the stream, but perhaps some column management and styling can fix that. I am sure you will se a couple of post from me in the future :-) I wish to have my site ready by the begin of february so I have to hurry now.
Rgds,
Gunnar
