Please Help me with Custom Avatar Code

[NeuroLancer]

I need some help modifying code for 3.7 to make custom avatar display on user profile

I have got code displaying the gallery pre defined avatar on a users memberpage

Here is the code im using:

$avaurlData = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
    SELECT avatarpath FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "avatar AS ava2
    WHERE ava2.avatarid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo[avatarid] . "
    LIMIT 1");

$predefined_url = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/$avaurlData[avatarpath]\" alt=\"Avatar\" border=\"0\" />";

the above code is good for pre-defined avatars(edit, actually no its not! lol, its displaying logged in users avatar, back to sq. 1), they display beautifully. The reason I want to do this on memberinfo is because I dont like using $prepared, it displays a thumbnail. Im almost there, all I need now is some help displaying custom avatars. I tried using image.php but I kept getting a blank result after dateline= and they werent updating.

Anyone know where I can start for custom avatars or have any code to help me? thanks
