I am working with CB version 2.0.14 and Joomla 3.5.1 installations. I want to use the cb_gender field to "assign" a particular profile avatar to users who have not uploaded or selected one of their own. By using a couple of cb:if statements in the Profile Value Layout of the avatar field, I am successful in showing a "male avatar" if the gender field is "Male" and a "female avatar" if the gender field is "Female". The problem with this solution is that it overrides the uploaded image if a user wants to use their own avatar. Is there a way to use my Profile Value Layout solution ONLY if a user has not uploaded or selected an avatar from the gallery? I might be able to figure out another "conditional" statement, but don't know what "value" the avatar field uses to know whether a photo or icon has been uploaded or selected. Is there a solution to this? Thanks.

You can do this using the layout parameters for fields. Edit your avatar field within CB > Field Management and under Parameters > Layouts specify substitution usage for the Profile Value Layout. Example as follows.
[cb:if avatar!~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/"][value][/cb:if]
[cb:if avatar=~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/" and cb_gender="Female"]IMAGE HERE[/cb:if]
[cb:if avatar=~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/" and cb_gender="Male"]IMAGE HERE[/cb:if]
