I'd consider this a very handy feature:

When a user selects an avatar the 'pictures' field of the users table is automatically updated with the new value.

This means that you only have to call $node->picture to see the users avatar for the current node.

This is possibly a duplicate of this:

Just to clarify, no value is being put in the users table when a user selects a picture.

The "pictures" field of the "users" table is updated with the selected avatar image. I just double-checked this on my test site and the field was updated correctly (set to "files/avatar_selection/photo10.gif" in my example test).

If this issue still occurs for you, perhaps try the latest dev release (available later today - includes patch from #239918) and send me all your avatar selection settings.

Cheers,

Thanks, the values are now appearing in the database and I haven't updated the module to 5.x-2.x-dev so I don't know where the problem originated. Cheers.
