Really cool but it's background repeating an 80x80 avatar, any idea why? Thanks.

The postbit part of this mod doesn't seem to be working in the latest vB release (memberinfo_block_ministats is though). There's another IF statement around that bit of code in 3.8.0, but I don't see why the modification wouldn't simply work. Could of course be that I'm in need of sleep though :)

cause the bars is max sized, and the profile picture is smaller than the bars
so two options scale profile pic or scare bars.

or set the css for the profilepic to no-repeat.
but i have no idea where that is done :D

Yeah unless you let banned users keep the avatar, the avatar will disappear for both temporary and permanent bans

We had the exact same problem, so we removed this modification.

The issues is the mismatch between the size of the avatar as a background image and the size of the cell bars as a foreground image.

This mod does not had enough value to be worth the trouble, IMHO.
