You can detect if the avatars are in the file system with:
This will be an integer value of 1 if the file system is being used, and an integer value of 0 if the database is being used.

I guess for now i can combine it into one product using, ill just inform that if your avatars on your file system it will create a query for avatar loaded.

it doesnt even touch the page load whether you have the additional queries or not though (at least from what Ive seen). all the queries mean, is it's asking the database for more information. on some products, queries matter, but from the testing ive put on my crappy little server sitting next to me i have not noticed any stress at all =) and its just a little ubuntu server i made from old pc parts, so if your site is on a real server youll have no issues =)
found a good article, but this may have to wait =) http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110628

I only mentioned the Datastore as a possible solution for some of the coding issues you're getting. But really, you're doing just fine the way it is. Can we get this for search.php now too? No members have liked this post.
