Loading avatars externally

[weasello]

Hey there,

I'm trying to find a user's avatar and am having problems.

I don't have access to any of the VB template functions or includes, but I do have full DB access. The problem I'm running into is this:

user_id in the users table DOES NOT match u= in the image.php file.

For example:

user_id 2 (me) has an avatar at images.php?u=1
user_id 67 (someone else) has an avatar at images.php?u=17

I tried looking into the database table "customavatars" but I couldn't find it in PHPMyAdmin.

Any clues on where to go?
