I apologize for not being clearer.
The widget is disabled, it would show on content.php and would display a random selection of 8 "Featured Members" as long as they have an avatar and 1 post or more.
When the widget is enabled the avatars do not show in the widget, only the username which is linked to their profile is shown. I have re-enabled the widget so you can see it in (sub par) action

Just scroll down and it'll be on the left hand side.
Yes I ensured that my test group of members had/have an avatar.
