I had the same problem, I had to:
Open template message_user_info
Find
Code:
<xen:avatar user="$user" size="m" />
Replace with
Code:
<a class="username avatar Av{$user.user_id}l" href="{xen:link members, $user}">
<img src="{xen:helper avatar, $user, l, 'true'}" alt="{$user.username}" style="max-height:96px;max-width:96px;" itemprop="photo" />
</a>

edit: Disregard, for some reason I can't select the ImageMagick PECL Extension option in the admin panel anymore so something might be wrong with my installation.

Not sure what to tell you then, my member_info_user info looks like this and it works:
I have left out everything below <!-- slot: message_user_info_avatar -->
Dont use the first bit in the thread for guest..
Code:
<xen:require css="message_user_info.css" />
<div class="messageUserInfo" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Person">
<div class="messageUserBlock">
<xen:hook name="message_user_info_avatar" params="{xen:array 'user={$user}', 'isQuickReply={$isQuickReply}'}">
<div class="avatarHolder">
<span class="helper"></span>
<a class="username avatar Av{$user.user_id}l" href="{xen:link members, $user}">
<img src="{xen:helper avatar, $user, l, 'true'}" alt="{$user.username}" style="max-height:96px;max-width:96px;" itemprop="photo" />
</a>

Apparently 3.0.1 is the latest stable version and running a beta version apparently causes conflicts.
Now I'm back to having my images broken.Not sure what else I can try...
Running just fine on Debian Wheezy.

You are still running 6.5.4-7 of ImageMagick. If you notice, mine is on 6.7.7-10, so you are still behind on that. You have two things to install, the Imagemagick pecl to install and and then the library. Have you updated both?
What OS are you running?
Edit: doing a little research indicates if you are on centOS, then you are on the latest shipping version. Have you added the remi repository and seen if they have a newer version?

Again, are you running centOS? The link I gave you shows how to add the RHEL EPEL to your repository.

Try running
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm'
from a command line via ssh. Then check for updates.

If you want to know what the EPEL is, the wiki is at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/...packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F.
It's kind of like dot.deb for Debian.

If you are running your own VPS or dedicated server (unmanaged) then there isn't any more "user friendly" way than this - unless it's hiring someone to administer your system or finding someone who will do it for free. If it's a managed system, then you should simply be able to submit a request - but with it being "non-standard" they may not do it.
At some point the things you're asking me to update will be gold releases instead of beta and these upgrades will be automatic. I'll either wait for that or for XF to figure out an alternative.
I have managed hosting but I prefer to have a bit more knowledge of the things I'm asking them to do. I don't like to experiment with things I'm not experienced with, especially on a live server. Thanks for the help, I may reference this thread in the future if I get some free time to research everything you've suggested.
