No there's a vB4 version that was actually here first...view the developer's profile and you'll find it.

What do you mean by avatar private message?

Hi great mod, I expect this is incompatible with vB 3.6.x, however I tried and received this error on.

I had to disable the mod until hopefully it is solved.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:

        SELECT user.userid as usersuserid, user.avatarid, user.avatarrevision, avatarpath, NOT ISNULL(customavatar.userid) AS hascustom, customavatar.dateline,
            customavatar.width, customavatar.height, customavatar.width_thumb, customavatar.height_thumb
        FROM vb_user AS user
        LEFT JOIN vb_avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid
        LEFT JOIN vb_customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid
        WHERE user.username = 'someone';

MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'customavatar.width_thumb' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Hopefully this will be made to work for old-timers as us still on vB 3.6.x versions
Thanks

This works with vB3.7+ and as of now and I would love to support old timers as I myself is an old timer on many of my forums but nothing lower than 3.7.
