Avatar on homepage

This is what we use on the main page of this forum.
So many people liked it and asked for it, I posted it on at least 5 threads already, but someone wanted a proper release so here it is.

Anyway, in index.php add this:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
  $avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='') {
    $avatarurl='{imagesfolder}/noavatar.gif';
  }
  $avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'">';
} else {
  $avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="{imagesfolder}/guestavatar.gif"></a>';
}

right after this:

$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
	show_nopermission();
}

Now in any of your forumhome_xxx templates, you can use this:

$avatarimage

to display the user's avatar.

It will display the user's avatar if he has selected one, if he hasn't selected one it will show noavatar.gif (you'll need to upload that to your images folder), and if it's a guest, it will show guestavatar.gif, and link the image to register.php.

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
$avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($avatarurl=='') {
$avatarurl='images/avatars/noavatar.gif';
}

Hiya
I love your hack, but I have a huge problem with it.

I'm using Vb2.2.8 and the noavatar isn't showing. I just get a red X. The guestavatar works perfectly. I checked the path multiple times and it is correct.

Here's my code

Please help me, someone

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
  $avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='') {
  $avatarimage='<a href="usercp.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'"><img src="images/avatars/noavatar.jpg" border="0"></a>';
  }
  $avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'">';
} else {
  $avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="images/avatars/guestavatar.jpg" border="0"></a>';
}
