@kevbow – Some sleep for me helped!

Your image URL from Pastebin worked, but when I went to your site in IE8, there was an additional backslash added to the avatar image URL:
http:///vapersplace.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/1802/191f39155d4b7abce53b63d5972abc9c-bpthumb.jpg

This is an odd one for sure!

Can you please try the updated code for avatars and see if it fixes your problem?
