One of my users recently brought an issue up regarding the avatar feature. When linking to an off-site avatar, the link the user provides is automatically added upon with a dateline tag at the end of the link.
For example:
User puts in: http://mysite.com/avatar.png
After hitting submit, it comes out as: http://mysite.com/avatar.png?dateline=1361949210
This usually isn't a problem and off site avatars still function properly...until a user tries to use a rotating avatar that is. If the user is using a rotating avatar script, this dateline addition at the end breaks the avatar. User-made rotating avatars worked fine on our old phpbb board, so I'm unsure the differences between that and MyBB in that regard.
Is the adding of the dateline at the end of the link necessary? And if not, is there a way to ensure it doesn't get added to the end of the avatar url?

. The user admitted that it could be an issue with their script after all. Thanks~
