Unfortunately, existing members' settings were not set properly because your records were imported from the old script.

If you know the primary key cutoff for the user_ids in the Vbulletin backend, run a Mysql update through PHP setting the avatar key = true in all the old users and your problems will vanish. You can do similar things to other settings in bulk like that as well.

Ooooooo, cool I can do that.... I'm still getting used to the new vBulletin script

If you have any other Vbulletin teething problems, let me know. I've avoided it for most of my clients because of the commonality leading to security problems ala the 40k site hacks a few weeks back because of a Vbulletin bug, but I've put it up enough times and handle a similar database structure for one of my bigger clients.

The saddest thing is I've dreamed in code. That hurts.

When you can reduce your daily routines to batch files that would parse on your server of choice, you need help.

My solution to that: buy another gun. It helps. :)

LOL, I hear you. I am an old burned out programmer turned manager that continually scrapes rust from my noggin to figure some of this out. It's getting easier, though. In some ways that scares me

Well, I was about to put together this SQL statement when I found out vB has a canned statement (inside a pHp script) built in to enable avayat upload for all members , so I ran it, then manually reset the banned members (currently two people). At the same time I found and ran another one to turn image upload on en masse.

Avatar and image problems should now be resolved unless members turn them off individually.
