Can you explain to me how it does not work here (my avatar using your format), or one of my forums either (here)?

Also see these lines in image.php - they "fetch" the avatar from the database, but "filedata" is empty if avatars are stored in the filesystem.

PHP Code:

    if ($imageinfo = $db->query_first_slave("
            SELECT $filedata, dateline, filename
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "$table
            WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->GPC['userid'] . " AND visible = 1
            HAVING filedata <> ''
        "))
    }
