Another option for glitch #1 is that it does use the avatar picture but assigns wrong dimentions (even though wrong dimensions would distort the image and not cut it into half). Here is a sample URL in my ADULT site.

As to #2 - logic prevails Logically, the default picture should abide by the same rules of the game as a user-assigned one. I can dream, of course, about a third option where you give us the opportunity to display another picture variation when not allowed to view profile pictures. In my case I will put my site's logo with a diagonal message that encourages the visitor to register.

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 ..
