In the 'users' table in my database I have an 'avatar' column. I've set the path to an image (icons/no_image.jpg) as the default. The field type is varchar(32), Not Null. When a user signs up he or she should have this image as their default avatar. Instead the avatar field is left blank when they register.
I have other images set as the default in other tables and don't get this problem. For the life of me I can't figure out why it won't default.
Any ideas?
