The gravatar isn't going to show in those locations unless you've modified the avatar fields layout properly. Those fields are rendered typically through getField API, which will work with the layout feature. If they are loading the images in directly then no matter what you do to layout it won't work. Those locations use the userlist value layout though, which is why both profile value and userlist value layouts need specified for the avatar field (not the gravatar field).

Ya, thanks for the effort Kyle... guess I am just a little to particular and was trying to offer both options. I have removed the Gravatar option and have upload avatar image enabled and have that working for all locations: CB Login module, Profile View, Profile Edit, Member List View, and Kunena Forums.

I tend to never stick with "out-of-the-box" setup, and end up with tons of customizations.

One thing I am a little curious about though, is the inability to do standard Joomla Language overrides. As it stands now, you have to edit the language.php file, and with every update of CB you have to re-edit the language.php file. I know there is a tutorial on doing a work around on this, but I'm just wondering why a standard Joomla Language file is not used here?

You should be using your own language plugin or a language override plugin. Do not modify core files as you'll just lose your changes anytime you update. The below explains how to create a language override plugin.

Joomla language usage is limiting for what we need. We've singular and plural case handling, dynamic language keys, multi-language key support, language string substitution support, debugging, and more to come that Joomla does not have.
