This modification dynamically adds a subtle "reflection" effect underneath avatars and/or images on your forums. The reflection will automatically fade into your forum's background color, whatever it might be. You can also offer this effect as an option for your members' uploaded images via a BB Code.
This effect uses unobtrusive javascript to keep your code clean. It doesn't require additional server work. It works in all the major browsers - Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+ and Safari. On older browsers, it'll degrade and your visitors won't notice a thing. Best of all, it's under 5KB!

Details:
1 file upload ("reflection.js") to forum's clientscript directory
1 template edit to "header" template
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in thread view ("postbit_legacy" template)
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in thread view ("postbit" template)
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in member profile ("MEMBERINFO" template)
Optional edit: 1 for profile picture in member profile ("MEMBERINFO" template)
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in Members List ("memberlist_resultsbit" template)
Optional edit: 1 for new BBcode (AdminCP -> Custom BB Codes -> BB Code Manager)
Optional edit, not recommended: 1 for ALL images posted inline via standard IMG BBCode ("includes/class_bbcode.php" file)
(All of the above optional edits involve simply inserting class="reflect" to the image HTML code, which adds the reflections. The code to replace for each edit is included in the .zip archive.)
See screenshots to see it in action...
My very first vBulletin hack! Kudos to the fine coders at vBulletin.org whose work inspires me.
Special thanks to Cow's Blog for the reflection.js code. Shared and distributed freely under MIT-style License.
Enjoy!!

So go on and visit his site. Sample thread here. I see reflections underneath every avatar in postbit_legacy... do you?
Given that "reflection.js" is nowhere to be found in Ziki's source, it's pretty unlikely.
Ziki, is there any reason you have not once provided a sample link to where the reflection *should* be working? If not, do post one, so it can be more easily troubleshot.
Other (browser specific) issues have been mentioned and I've answered them all in this thread. No one yet has said it just "doesn't work" like Ziki has. I contend he hasn't installed it properly, or has Javascript off in his browser or something. Time will tell. I'm eager to hear if he can see the reflection effect on other sites (where it is known to be properly installed.)
When you click refresh on the page.. Its slow on reacting to the reflection , because its the last thing that loads on the page, But its pretty sweet *clicks install
