What should I change to get it work?

For anyone having issues with this plugin on vBadvanced CMPS:

The "fix" is relatively simple, $navbaravatar simply needs to be globalized and luckily vBadvanced comes included with a little tool that allows you to do exactly this! Go to the following location in your browser:
Admin CP -> vBa CMPS -> Default Settings

Scroll down the page slightly, and find the "Portal Output Global Variables" settings. Note that the description here states that the '$' before the variable name is NOT required, so simply enter navbaravatar there, hit "Save" and you should be good to go.

Please add an image crop tool, so that members can crop their avatar to a square. Without it rectangle avatars are stretched and squashed beyond recognition.

Perhaps you can give me style via email? Or admin access to I can check the navbar template?

To prevent this you can limit only on thing, height or width...

I think I won't build a new 3.x version because I'm using vB 4.

I dont see how setting a maximum height or width helps. But if that would somehow help, then i think that will not affect those 100.000 members that already have an avatar. It would then only help for new avatars. or am I missing something?

The readme file has two settings, with and without TMS. What is TMS?
