You do have the added extra of having avatars in the welcome block which was not in the original code, you had to modify some code to do this. I will try and get the missing bits added soon.This is how my block looks on my local test forum, ignore the 0 posts and 0 topics, its where I haven't posted anything new on the forum since the last visit
I wrote this in mind with it being on top of the middle column but the code is fairly easy to change if you want different formatting for other locations. From the Admin page, goto Portal -> Add Custom Blocks. Then fill out the first two details and copy and paste the below code into the third field.
<?php

$avatar = $this->ipsclass->DB->fetch_row($welcomequery1);
$data['avatar'] = $this->ipsclass->get_avatar($avatar['avatar_location'], 1,$avatar['avatar_size'], $avatar['avatar_type']);
$welcometext .= $data['avatar'];

?>While everything should work fine, I should point out I am not an expert coder so there are likely better ways of writing the code, feel free to post any changes here and I will add them to this post. If you have any problems or questions feel free to ask and I will try and answer them.
