Avatars > Add
no. it does not.. that's why you have to set it as default.
i didnt included the custom avatars because i wanted to save a JOIN table and reduce the stress on the server.

also since the default group of avatars is being seen only by admins and journalists, there is no way that other members can use yours.

follow the instructions on your readme file. add your avatar through admin cp panel the way you do it normally.

i also did it this way for security. let's see a journalist get pissed and he uploads a big finger, or porn as his default image. it will show on the main page. that will not happen, since only you can upload journalist avatars to your site. is well thought all.
