Forums / Cotonti / Support / Header avatar problems

hi dudes

im trying to get the user avatar in the header under the control panel.

i found this thread - http://www.cotonti.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=13554
and ive done like medj did.

in common.php i added

in header.php i added

and in the header tpl file i added {HEADER_USER_AVATAR} where i wanted it.

the problem is that it only gives me a pic of the default avatar instead of the one that the user is using

all help is appreciated
