Okay, I haven't looked at the new file just posted, but in case that doesn't work, I've just finished installing this on a friend's 2.2.5 board with no problems. Here's what I did in case it helps anyone.

I followed the directions bad madman gave, in a nutshell:

1) added each of the templates and made the changes as instructed to modifyavatar template

2) uploaded sqltodos and avatar_categ; ran http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/admin/sqltodos.php

3) Made change to index.php - this was different than in the directions I had (maybe I had an old copy):

Find:

makenavoption("Add","avatar.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","avatar.php?action=modify","|");
makenavoption("Upload","avatar.php?action=upload");
makenavselect("Avatars");

and replace with:

makenavoption("Add","avatar_categ.php?s=&action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","avatar_categ.php?s=&action=modify","|");
makenavoption("Options","options.php?s=&action=options&settinggroupid=26#settinggroup26");
makenavselect("Avatars / Categories");

4) made changes to member.php - here I added the code after it says

>>> Replace ist with (if you don't use CSS-Navigation - see further below):

That is all I did - I skipped all the other CSS stuff. Like I said, I might have an old copy of the directions, but what I did worked, so I figured it might help someone
