It is not a built in feature of vBulletin to allow users to specify a URL for avatars.
I know you are probably used to phpBB and having people host thier own avatars, but the problem with that is the images can be huge and slow to download and very annoying to users. So that is why vBulletin has users upload avatars to the site.
There might be an add-on at vBulletin.org that let you do Avatars by URL. It starts with creating a custom user profile field that users can paste URL, then editing the postbit template.
