This is the code im using - the only thing changed are the <td> parts - I removed these so a new column was not created.

<if condition="$show['avatar']"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
			<else />
			<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[usergroupid].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if>

With this code - all members that do not have an avatar selected show the alt message 'Username's Avatar'....Members that have an avatar selected do show properly...

I have 2 gif files setup 10.gif and 33.gif (was 31 in 1st post but groups changed) - the members in these 2 groups only show the 'Username's Avatar' link or the regular avatar if they have selected one.

Maybe I misunderstood the point of this code - now that I have reread the 1st post - maybe this isnt for me...I want members to be able to use regular avatars, but members that I put into certain groups (banned, suspended, etc) I want default avatars to show instead of ones they may have selected.
