I have fixed the problems with avatars, if you have already installed this hack replace the block in global.php with this:

PHP Code:

// #############################################################################
// get new private message alert - hack
$newpmmsg = 0;
$shownewpm = false;
if ($vboptions['checknewpm'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $bbuserinfo['pmpopup'] == 2)
{
    $DB_site->shutdown_query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET pmpopup = 1 WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]", 'pmpopup');
    if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'private')
    {
        $newpmmsg = 1;
        $newpm = $DB_site->query_first("
            SELECT pmtext.title, fromusername, fromuserid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext AS pmtext
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm AS pm USING(pmtextid)
            WHERE pm.userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]
            ORDER BY pmtext.dateline DESC
            LIMIT 1
        ");

        require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
        $pm_avaurl = fetch_avatar_url($newpm['fromuserid']);

        if (empty($pm_avaurl))
        {
            $showpm_ava = false;
        }
        else
        {
            $showpm_ava = true;
        }
        // end hack - new pm notifacation    
        $newpm['username'] = unhtmlspecialchars($newpm['fromusername'], true);
        $newpm['title'] = unhtmlspecialchars($newpm['title'], true);
        $shownewpm = true;
        
    }
}
