How on earth would I get a users avatar to show up in a Views block? All I can seem to do is get the last uploaded Avatar to show up. Please help, I can't find any information about Views integration. I'm also using Unique Avatar in hopes to associate the pic's with a user.

ok, some of this is solved:

-This must be a node View
-You must use an argument
Provide Default Argument
User ID from Logged In User
-Fields should be a User: Picture

but NOW....
this will not show up for new users only users that this was set for when I created the view

Is there a better way to do this?

Project: Avatar Selection » Views (for Drupal 7)

This is unrelated to the Avatar Selection module. Reassigning...

I'm afraid I don't understand the problem.

Well my goal is to have a block that shows a currently logged in user's picture by using views.
This has not worked for me yet.

do you mean "the current logged in user" also called me.

or do you want to display one or more logged in users?

yes the currently logged in user is the avatar/icon/picture I'd like to show.

this should work for you

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'test';
$view->description = 'test';
$view->tag = '';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'users';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
  'picture' => array(
    'label' => 'Picture',
    'alter' => array(
      'alter_text' => 0,
      'text' => '',
      'make_link' => 0,
      'path' => '',
      'alt' => '',
      'prefix' => '',
      'suffix' => '',
      'help' => '',
      'trim' => 0,
      'max_length' => '',
      'word_boundary' => 1,
      'ellipsis' => 1,
      'strip_tags' => 0,
      'html' => 0,
    ),
    'exclude' => 0,
    'id' => 'picture',
    'table' => 'users',
    'field' => 'picture',
    'relationship' => 'none',
  ),
));
$handler->override_option('filters', array(
  'uid_current' => array(
    'operator' => '=',
    'value' => '1',
    'group' => '0',
    'exposed' => FALSE,
    'expose' => array(
      'operator' => FALSE,
      'label' => '',
    ),
    'id' => 'uid_current',
