is it possible to have a default avatar set depending on the genderfield?

NOt working in version 4.1.1 . How to get this work on newer version ?

[WorldCraft]

Edit the 'postbit_legacy' template, not the 'postbit' template. Works a treat, cheers mate.

I have some forums that are meant to be used by the women on my site only and others that are just for the men.

Can this mod be expanded to assign them to the "Male" or "Female" usergroups depending on their choice? If that is the case, can we enforce the selection of one or the other instead of allowing for the "Blank" selection?
