Take a look in member.php around line 395:

PHP Code:

// AVATAR
$avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($userinfo['userid']);

if ($avatarurl == '' OR !$vbulletin->options['avatarenabled'] OR ($avatarurl['hascustom'] AND !($userinfo['permissions']['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canuseavatar']) AND !$userinfo['adminavatar']))
{
    $show['avatar'] = false;
}
else
{
    $show['avatar'] = true;
    $userinfo['avatarsize'] = $avatarurl[1];
    $userinfo['avatarurl'] = $avatarurl[0];
} 


Does that help?
