Weird because the plugin code outputs the "unknown_male.gif" or "unknown_female.gif':

PHP Code:

if (!empty($gender) AND $user['avatarurl'] == "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/unknown.gif" AND ($this->registry->options['genderbit_loc_avatars'] & $this->registry->options['genderbit_loc']['profile']) != 0)
{
  $user['avatarurl'] = $this->registry->options['genderbit_imgdir']."/unknown_$gender.gif";
} 


Since gender-aware default profile pictures are "unknown_pic_male.gif" or "unknown_pic_female.gif' it's hard to imagine how the plugin picks the default profile pictures over the default avatars in vb 3.8.

It's because usergroup "Unregistered / Not Logged In" does not have permission to view profile pictures so vBulletin original code does not output the profile pictures (AdminCP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Unregistered / Not Logged In > Edit > General Permissions > Can View Others' Profile Pictures). Gender Bit plugin detects it as "the user profile does not have a profile picture" and inject a default one. Seeking opinion here: will it make more sense if Gender Bit does not show the default profile picture to usergroups that do not have permission to view profile pictures (like before Gender Bit is installed)?

Thanks for testing Gender Bit on vBulletin 3.8 .. I don't think I will be installing 3.8 until at least RC version is out ..
