I think it might be easier to figure out why the mod doesn't work.

Ohh OK, yeah your probably right!

I didn't understand how it all worked, but yeah it does make sense now.

After I installed and uninstalled VB optimise, loads of my plugins went crazy, it really messed things up on me (no offence to the creator). That chiplove plugin did work fine before when the avatars were in the database, it might be worth just moving them back.

Thank you for giving me a detailed reply also, its hard to learn these things when people post short blunt answers!
