Are you using WordPress version 2.5? Just put the URI of a default image in as the default. If you put the same thing into your browser's address bar it should show the image, if it doesn't it's wrong! So, there's no way the plug-in can use it... Hmm, and 1 error (of your making, not the plug-in at all) isn't really "tons" is it! :neutral: Sorry Eh, I don’t think you are using the plug-in correctly. Are you using WordPress version 2.5?

I've always thought avatars/userpics/icons were a basic part of blogs... I was surprised to not see it part of the default WP package! I'm wondering if there's a way to allow an "Upload" system, even if only the Admin can set them up. E.g. some sort of "Upload" button that would take care of uploading the image and putting it in the proper directory. Would a future release maybe allow for the Admin to set users with the privileges to pick their own avatar? I’m thrilled there’s something out there like this!
