Showing Avatar?

[interfx]

I'm working on the main forum page (FORUMHOME), and am trying to have my user avatar to show, but keep getting a broken image...

Here's what I'm using...

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editavatar">
<img src="$avatarurl" border="0" $avwidth $avheight alt="$vbphrase[edit_avatar]" />
</a>

Any ideas why I'm getting a broken image?

Thanks -

The variable might not work in this template.
I believe there is a hack on vB.org which will show a kind of "welcome Panel" to the user, aslo showing up the user's avatar.

That code you've posted only works in postbit. Here's my code for FORUMHOME:

<if condition="$timestampnow = TIMENOW"></if>
<img src="image.php?u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&amp;dateline=$timestampnow"
alt="$vbphrase[avatar]" border="0" align="center" />

The timestamp stuff is kinda crazy but necessary to always show the user's latest (rather than cached) avatar since the timestamp of the user's avatar is not available on FORUMHOME to my knowledge.

You know what would be fantastic? A writeup of what's in $bbuserinfo (aka $vbulletin->userinfo).


Here's my entire Welcome Panel. It's quite modified from the ones at vBulletin.org.

You need the Plugin to get New Posts in New Forums to work.

That did it... The timestamp is less than obvious, but it worked just fine...

Thanks again for your help!
