Sorry! And I wasn't trying to be sarcy saying it was a year ago lol. Just so you know.
Basically it works great on all the pages in my forum folder. I have vBa Links & Gallery which are in /links and /gallery folders.
On these pages, the URL to the avatar's image is...
http://www.site.com/gallery/customavatars/avatarx.gif
or
