This was totally my fault Marco, I forgot to check the other styles I have & I didnt add this hack to all styles....this works perfect

in vb3.0.8 $userinfo[avatarurl] doesn't work, I just use $avatarurl instead and it is fine.

good job Marco

Marco, Can you upgrade this one to vB 3.5.0 Gold?

Marco van Herwaarden · #29 11-09-2005, 02:29 PM

I might do xug, but this one is not high on my list.

Freesteyelz · #30 02-05-2006, 11:40 AM

May I ask what the status is for 3.5.3 if any? My users are and I would like this very much.

*I am willing to pay for your effort. Hope my request is within the rules...Sorry Brad if it isn't.

I will try to find the time soon to port this and some other of my older hacks. But right now some other things (HackDb, private issues) have my priority.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
