maybe i understand your question wrong but the avatar only shows when your logged in..

yes it only shows when im logged in , what i mean is that when im not or an anonymous user visits the site the pic is like an error box it does not know what pic to use as no user is logged in. All i want it to show when no one is logged in is the blank.gif until user registers or logs in. Take a look at www.tacopscheats.com thanks

well im not shure if it changed (cant imagine) but your avatar seems to be at the wrong place.
ill explain..
the avatar used for the forums are located at :
modules\Forums\images\avatars

But yours is at :
images\avatars

Now the funny thing isyou have a avatar at :
http://www.tacopscheats.com/images/avatars/blank.gif
But thats not recoqnized for some reason..

Yeah u think it could be a security risk? Im using phpnuke 7.4 , im always up to date with patches i dont want a block to send all that work to the sh*ts Smile

no it doesnt have anything to do with any risk.
the avatar is allways been a big problem in blocks..
further when it works as it should then visitor shouldnt even see an avatar.
personally i dont like the block,and you have a choice of dozens outhere..

I will look into it but the prob are all the other addons for user accounts and stuff i have added hehehe Smile

well if your handy you can solve it yourself...
for example...download ravens Site Info block..
like here on the site it uses a avatar if your logged in..
look up the code and see whats the difference is with yours...

It will be a litle like this,you might even try this one...

Code:




/* Info for users which is logged in */


if (is_user($user)) {


if ($userinfo[user_avatar]) {$content .= "<div align=\"center\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=$TBLWIDTH><tr><td width=\"100%\" height=\"10\"></td></tr><tr><td width=\"100%\"><center><img src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/$GALLERY/$userinfo[user_avatar]\" alt=\"\"></center></td></tr>\n";}
