Had to do some modifications to the functions_steamconnect.php file to get Avatar, DisplayName & Community URL to show.

Replace Previous Code in (functions_steamconnect.php):

$match = array();
	preg_match_all("/\w*(\".+\": .+,?)\n/", $raw_json, $match);

	if (!isset($match[1]) || !is_array($match[1])) {
		DEVDEBUG("stc_profiling[] = Time: ".(microtime(1)-$time).", ret: http404");
		return false;
	}	

	$steam_info = array();
	// We filter just for the fields we actually need.
	$additional_fields2 = explode("\n",$vbulletin->options['stc_additionalfields']);
	$whitelist = array_unique(array_merge(array('steamid', 'communityvisibilitystate', 'personaname', 'profileurl', 'avatar', 'avatarmedium', 'avatarfull'),$additional_fields,$additional_fields2));
	$values = $match[1];
	foreach ($values AS $val) {
		$match = array();
		preg_match("/\"(.+)\": ([^,]*),?/", $val, $match);
		if (is_array($match) && count($match) == 3) {

			$name = $match[1];
			$value = trim($match[2]);
			if (!in_array($name, $whitelist)) continue; // Not a setting we're looking for. skip..

			// Strip quotes and slashes
			if ($value{0} == '"' && $value{strlen($value)-1} == '"')
				$value = stripslashes(substr($value, 1, -1));

			$steam_info[$name] = $value;
		}
	}

With either options below

    $steam_info = array();
    $json_decoded = json_decode($raw_json);

    foreach ($json_decoded->response->players as $player) {

        $steam_info['steamid'] = $player->steamid;
        $steam_info['communityvisibilitystate'] = $player->communityvisibilitystate;
        $steam_info['personaname'] = $player->personaname;
        $steam_info['profileurl'] = $player->profileurl;
        $steam_info['avatar'] = $player->avatar;
        $steam_info['avatarfull'] = $player->avatarfull;
        $steam_info['avatarmedium'] = $player->avatarmedium;

    }

or

        $steam_info = array();
        $json_decoded = json_decode($raw_json);
        $steam_values = array('steamid', 'communityvisibilitystate', 'personaname', 'profileurl', 'avatar', 'avatarmedium', 'avatarfull');

        foreach ($json_decoded->response->players as $player) {

            foreach ($steam_values as $steam_value) {
                $data = $player->$steam_value;

                if($data != null && $player != null)
                    $steam_info[$steam_value] = $data;
            }

        }

No idea if this causes any further security issues, just a quick fix to showing Avatars & URL's. Haven't come across any other issues yet.

Thank you, it worked for me as well.
