Has anyone been able to make this work with just the thumbs of the avatars showing (like it does in sideblocks) rather than the fully animated avatars/gifs?

Yes I'd like to suggest this improvement too, a lot of resources saved by using the thumbs instead of full avatar. Hopefully someone can post code change for this because TC will never come back.

Resource saving is my goal as well. Almost all of my users use customavatars and of those are mostly gifs. Having just a small thumb rather than the full gif animating would save a lot.

Avatars work well in the rest of the forum. Only here the URL fails.

On the first HTML code that you need to add to your threadbit template make the following changes to the code:

Code:

<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}"><img height="32px" width="32px" style="float:left;margin-right:4px;border:1px solid #000000;border-radius:30px" src="{vb:raw thread.avatarurl}" border="0" /></a>

You can certainly change the border color to a color you prefer on any of these.

Code:

border:1px solid #000000;

Change the hex color shown in bold red to a color of your choice. The color I have it set as is black.

forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:

Code:

<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw forum}, null, 'real_lastposterid', 'real_lastposter'}"><img height="48px" width="48px" style="float:left;margin-right:4px;border:1px solid #000000;border-radius:30px" src="{vb:raw forum.avatarurl}" border="0" /></a>

search_threadbit:

Code:

<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}"><img height="32px" width="32px" style="float:left;margin:7px 4px 0 0;border:1px solid #000000;border-radius:30px" src="{vb:raw thread.avatarurl}" border="0" /></a>

2ND search_threadbit:

Code:

<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'lastposterid', 'lastposter'}"><img height="32px" width="32px" style="float:left;margin-right:4px;border:1px solid #000000;border-radius:30px" src="{vb:raw thread.lastposteravatarurl}" border="0" /></a>

search_results_postbit:

Code:

<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}, null, 'userid', 'username'}"><img height="32px" width="32px" style="float:left;margin-left:4px;border:1px solid #000000;border-radius:30px" src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" border="0" /></a>

Hope this helps some achieve round avatars
