Can someone give me a code example on how to grab a user's avatar based on a username being passed in?

Thanks,

you can use:

/api/membership.ashx/users/{Id}/avatar

for getting the avatar of the userID.

So, if I want to use this in an another web application, I should be able to just use:  http://community.metalreview.com/api/membership.ashx/users/{Id}/avatar  for the src of my image tag dynamically putting the user's id in that {Id} spot?

If I copy/paste that URL with a valid UserID into the address bar, I get an error.

Edit:
This still isn't working.  http://community.metalreview.com/api/membership.ashx/users/2100/avatar     for a live example, isn't working.
