FoA, thanx for such a complete answer...

1) Agree! Will check better but seems is still a point in which avatar.php is accessed: userCP when updating avatar. I'll let you know if interested.

2) The filename isn't stored if the admin uploads a custom avatar for an user. Have no idea about the 'traditional' behavior of VB222 this case.

3) Elementar but right

4) In functions.php there's no global.php import, so the global variables aren't defined unless explicitly red. An assignment like mine just right before using the variable works fine (is the same way you read the usefileavatar global/setting var.

Thanks again.
