This is my first plugin for vB. It took me awhile to figure things out, but, once I polished it down, it was a piece of cake. If you encounter any problems or have any suggestions, please let me know, thanks!
IF YOU HAVE VERSION 1.0 INSTALLED, please update to the most recent version (1.1). This is because of a necessary bugfix needed to prevent users who do not have avatars from having image problems!

I am having a problem with this plugin - it never showed avatar to begin with , just a red x . Now it has been removed , but , is still showing a red x in my navbar ?
works on the navbar..but not near the poster, and now i cant even delete it? lol
(Happening on all my skins, except Default, I Even tryed to reinstall the skins, same thing)
That shouldn't have anything to do with this hack, as it doesn't change any of the 'showthread' variables.

You have to undo the template modifications, because it's still searching for the picture in the navbar. I'm expanding this plugin into a "Navbar Plus" plugin, so I'll try to fix some of these issues then. It would help if I had a bit more information about your forum to understand why it is giving you the red X, as it has worked on 95% of the forums that have installed it.

I did undo the template modifications , deleted the plugin , and it is still trying to show up , lol .
One question, when using vBadvanced, the homepage uses navbar, but the avatar will not show. I'm assuming because there's a variable that's not set when using the vBa based page.
Throughout the vB pages it works fine, though.
Any way you can let me know how to define the variable for vBa or hack it to work? I'll start playing with things in the mean time.
