there is a condition in the code that doesnt put the hat on an avatar if it doesnt load by a certain point. if the image tales too long to render, it gets skipped. if you refresh the page, and the image is in the cache, the hat will usually show up.
I had to do it that way or the hats were just floating there by themselves.

also if you have a MP remodel that moves where the avatar sits or completely changes how the avatar lies in the MP, the hats wont find the avatar - or the avatar will get moved somewhere else and the hat will target a contact icon.

MP is mini profile. the part to the left of posts. codes are fickle in where they get placed. sometimes they work better at the top or bottom. I run it on this forum at the bottom to give the avatars more time to load, but even then sometimes they dont make it. your avatar for example gets skipped a lot because the URL to it went bad and I never replaced it. but if you put in your own avatar URL, it would more likely find it quicker.
if there was a better way to ensure the image was loaded all the way I would incorporate it, but what I used seemed to be the one with the highest results.

I'd like to change the image, but what size pixel x pixel should it be Wormo?  |

MYOMP probably restructures the entire cell so hats cant even find the avatar to put a hat on it....
the hats images should be sorta small. the santa hat I have is 50 wide by 75 tall. you dont want it TOO big or it wont calculate where the middle will lie in relation to the avatar. I would say dont go more then 80px wide or tall and it should fit. it doesnt do any resize, so you need to use an image that is already sized right.
in the code, the offset number is for getting the placement just right. each image gets tweaked just a little by that number.
