ok, you need to upload an avatar for each usergroup that you have in the format x.gif where x is the usergroupid number for that usergroup (eg for admins you would use 6.gif)

Then in your postbit

FIND

<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td>
</if>

REPLACE WITH

		<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td>
<else />
<td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[usergroupid].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td>
</if>

then in the memberinfo template

FIND

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
				<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
			<else />
				<td>&nbsp;</td>
			</if>

Replace with

		<if condition="$show['avatar']">
				<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
		<else />
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$userinfo[usergroupid].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></td>
</if>

Just a little warning, if you miss a usergroup then there will be broken images.
