I had the same experience as Jaxel today; it broke all the posted images and the smileys too.
On the upside, I was able to display random avatars of the Chef with a little help from the vBulletin.org forum. I've attached a zip file of the six Swedish Chef avatars I used; they're all a bit on the large size (most are 100 pixels high) so you may want to resize them. Create a subdirectory named SwedishChef in the images/misc directory and upload them there. Then go to Plugins and Products: Plugin Manager, find the Encheferizer section, and click on Edit for the postbit_display_start hook. Add:
Code:
$newavatar = mt_rand(1, 6);
(Change the 6 to the number of Chef avatars you have.)
Next, edit your postbit template. Find:
Code:
<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>
and comment it out. Below it add:
Code:
<td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="http://www.yourforum.com/images/misc/SwedishChef/swedish_chef$newavatar.jpg" border="0" /></a></td>
