Link to what? Their profile? If so, open the postbit_avatar template and replace whatever's in there with this:


<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$post[userid]" target="_blank"><img src="$avatarurl" border="0" alt=""></a>

Oh, I see what you mean. Well, I suppose it's perfectly possible...but not necessarily advisable. Avatars take up very little space, and hot-linking is a baaad idea, which, unfortunately, will be inevitable if you found a hack for this. As it stands now, though, vBulletin users can enter a URL and the script will go and make a copy of that file for the local server.
