Perhaps the author could code in a function to check and see if the userid is blank, and if so, to use the noavatar.gif instead. I know this is a workaround, but it will fix this for everyone that is having problems until the offending culprit is found.

Thanks!

Trana,

I stumbled on this today, if you still need the fix it is:

Got to the plugin manager, find the plug in 'PM Avatars' and edit

PHP Code:

$sk_avurl = fetch_avatar_url($userid); 


to:

PHP Code:

if($userid != 'cc'){ $sk_avurl = fetch_avatar_url($userid); } 


That would stop the errors for you, it basically checks if the $userid = 'cc' and then only runs the hook if it isn't. It's expecting the $userid to equal something like '67453' but something makes it 'cc'... my code just ignores it if it is!

Let me know how you get on, it will fix it!
