   New release of my Avatar Plugin (version .73a). Core files no longer have to be adjusted! Just drop the file into your plugins directory, adjust your css file (as shown in the readme) and you're good to go.

   Get the new release here: http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_avatar/

   Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but no avatar shows up on a post...

   You still have to put the call in the correct section. I say how in the readme (it's step 2)

   This plugin is great but there's one thing I'm missing: limits.

   When someone adds an avatar I don't want to have a 800x600px image ruining my layout (and everyones bandwidth for that matter) :S

   If you follow the instructions then it won't ruin your layout. The way I suggest doing it is to set the constraints in css and if they make a pic that is too large, it'll just be cut off.

   Feel free to try it out on my forums at http://www.rayd.org/forums

   Hum... never did thought of using css for it... still people would still load the entire image thus making my bandwidth issue valid :?

   They could yes. The plugin only uses a URL of an image to add it. Limiting the size of an image would require a function to check the image size and reject large images (if possible) or needs an entirely new plugin to deal with uploading images. Hmm

   yes, since the plugin does not contain an uploader (I hope to do that later) the plugins must be linked either offsite or whatever. Very large images won't slow down your server though, since it's being pulled from another server.

    My site is still up, but some people in foreign countries (especially the far east) have had trouble viewing the site.
