I made a simple child theme: inherit style.css and a functions.php with Dean's code only. Uploaded those to wp-content/themes/childthemetwitavatar/ and activated the child theme in admin. See the description on how to build a child theme on: http://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/. Dean, send me a DM with your email address @volkstuin and I will mail you the files, so you can add it here for other users, if you like. Cheers guys!! That’s it modemlooper!
