Adding a custom avatar..

How would I go about allowing a user to set an address to point to a file for use as a 60x60 image file underneath their user name? I had set the field for it in the member & profile screen, but wasnt sure what to set in the actual non template coding.

Also, is there a way to make it not show an image if the user has selected none? I would hate to have a broken image link for everyone.

Thank you in advance.

As one of the options you could use a transparent image. That way you don't have to do some funky if/then statements to replace the img tag if they don't choose one. The transparent image would fulfill the img src request but still not show up.

Just a thought.
