I did a little more testing last night.

Unfortunately, the SION pages are not working, but I bet this is a simple fix for Markus.

Here is my temporary work-around. Delete the default_player_photo.jpg in the league directory (news/HTML/images).

No picture will show up on the SION pages, but in my opinion this is better than the default image. And the convenience of having all my photos in one directory over-rides having to see the player image in the SION pages. Once Markus points the SION pages to look at the photos directory, this problem should be solved to everyone's satisfaction.

I tested the logos, too, but found they actually work just like in the customization guide. If you create your logos and put them in the main logos directory, the game will copy the needed logos from there and put a copy into your local league file. (This only works when you are creating a new league. If you put the logos into the main logos directory after the league has begun, the game does not see them.)

To me the big advantage of the Photos method is that the game does NOT copy them into the league directory which saves space (and also allows you to over-ride the main photos directory as I described earlier).
