Well I know a little about religious tolerance, but as I can see, you heard nothing about it.
Thanks for the insult. Please lecture me on tolerance. I
asked you to remove it from your avatar on this board - I could have done that myself, as I'm the admin around here. Notice the difference?
This is an ancient Odolen-Trava symbol first used nearly 2000 years ago. Yoã can google "ancient swastikas" or "swastika history" to slightly open your mind. My avatar has nothing abour Nazi or Hitler symbols. There's a hundred various swastikas with different mystical and religious meaning.
I'm well aware that the Swastika hasn't been invented by the Nazis, but they chose it as their symbol, so the symbol is being concatenated to Nazism since then. Too bad for all the other, less well-known groups that used to have swastikas as their symbol and made innocent use of it. In fact, the Nazis haven't invented anything they did - there used to be wars before, there used to be anti-semitism before. However, 99% of all people think of Nazism when seing a swastika. That's why having it as an avatar on a board that is available to the general public is not a good idea imo. Have I mentioned that I'm German? Oh, I haven't. My, we even have a law that bans the use of swastikas. The server this board is being run on is located in Germany, so local laws apply.

From the page you have refered to (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Taboo_in_Western_countries):
Because of its use by Hitler and the Nazis and, in modern times, by neo-Nazis and other hate groups, for many people in the West, the swastika is associated primarily with Nazism, and white supremacy in general. Hence, outside historical contexts, it has become taboo in Western countries. For example, the German postwar criminal code makes the public showing of the Hakenkreuz (the swastika) and other Nazi symbols illegal and punishable, except for scholarly reasons.
I use Odolen-trava more than 5 years and I have a tatoo with it.
That's fine, I won't blame you for doing this anywhere else. Show your tattoo, tell people about it wherever you like. Except on this board. Please.
And after all, I cant remove my avatar here in a forum, I can't find a way to do this.
You change/remove it the same way you added it in the first place: click (https://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/Themes/default/images/english/profile.gif), then "Forum Profile Information" in the section "Modify Profile" at the left of the screen. Then either choose "nopic" in the section "Personalized Picture", or use any of the other options on the screen.

As said my admin he install Mod Secure for Apache that blocks ../ browsing. He can't disable it for security reasons. Is there any way to change relative browsing to absolute?
No, unless you go through the whole coppermine code and modify hundreds of lines of code manually, you can't. Coppermine is designed to use relative links - makes moving it around on the server or from one server to the other much easier, that's why it was designed that way. Imo your server setup is a bit over-paranoid. Bottom line: if you can't make your server admin change his policy and if you're not inclined to move to another webhost with less restrictive server settings, then coppermine probably is not the right application for you, sorry.
