Credits go to Ogden2K for inspiring the layout of the welcome panel and to Brad.loo for his help on coding issues.
Description:
I have changed a few minor problems in the original coding that were prohibiting avatars from being shown on some boards. I also redid the instructions file so that Microsoft Notepad opens it with proper line formatting.
Basically this is just a simple welcome panel that conditionally displays the user's avatar if they are (a.) logged in and (b.) have an avatar selected. If they are not logged in or do not have an avatar selected, they see variations of the welcome panel text that intuitively guide them toward registering or logging in and selecting an avatar.
No PHP files are hacked with this modification. It is completely template driven.
I have successfully tested the modifications on my own vBulletin 3.0.0 Beta 4 installation with both avatars stored within the MySQL database and with avatars stored in a file-system folder outside of the database. It works both ways now.
Anyone who downloaded the previous releases of this modification needs to upgrade to this one. I apologize for the confusion that arose from having so many different ideas being publicly thrown about in the other thread.

You didn't edit the navbar template, evidently. It would have helped if you had posted the URL for your forums so that the rest of us could see it for ourselves.

ok.. now it's ok.. but the text file is not so clear about what to do with the navbar.. i had to delete everything there and add the new parts..
