            eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");

AND REPLACE WITH

PHP Code:

        if ($post[avatarid]!=0) {
            $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath];
        } else {
            if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
                $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";

            }
        }
        if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {
            $post[avatar]="images/default.gif";
        } else {
            eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");
        } 


Now you will see that part that I edited. The blank $avatarurl.
Now you can change the path within the one that contains $avatarurl="images/default.gif"; to any path you want. Just dont touch the other two with parses the avatars on the site.

You could alternatively try doing this :

PHP Code:

PHP:  

if ($post[avatarid]!=0) {
            $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath];
        } else {
            if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
                $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";
            } else {
                $avatarurl="$defaultavurl";
            }
        }
        if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {
            $post[avatar]="$defaultavurl";
        } else {
            eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");
        } 


Then going to :

yourdomain.com/forum/admin/setting.php?action=add

Properties :

Setting Category - Avatars
Title - Default Avatar Url
Variable Name - defaultavurl
Value - (leave blank)
Description - Url to the Default Avatar Image
Code to generate option - (leave blank)
Display Order - 1

Then Save...

Then edit your options and enter the url of the default avatar...

=-=

What are the advantages of my way? It is easier to change the Default Avatar url
