The following is a bit of code I came up with to continue to use the Avatar in Navbar mod by fraghappy. After searching for many hours I decided just to figure it out myself.
On the bright side, none of the plugins and db queries from the old mod are used.
I'll try to support this as much as possible, but I don't foresee anyone having any real issues. It's pretty straight forward.

You just need to become familiar with the following bit of code:
This will display a users avatar:
and this is what I use in place of the Avatar in Navbar mod:
In navbar template replace:
with this:
In non-vb pages (i.e. vbp_navbar I use vbPortal) I use this code: You must modify this to match your portal or external pages
Then just simply assign the noavatar.gif as the default avatar for your usergroups. From then on your users that have not uploaded a custom avatar will be displayed the noavatar.gif
Personally I don't use the no avatar image as the default. I created a custom default avatar for each usergroup.
As for the plugin for the original Avatar on Navbar mod, I don't even use it. With this bit of code it's simple and not needed.
or if you want to call it directly using an http: use this method:
The user must be logged in to the forums and using cookies to work outside of the forum root. If you are using an integrated portal system you should have no issues!
Enjoy!
