If your looking for any suggestions as to what to include in updates, I would say that, as a forum, this plugin works fantastic, with regards to the avatar however, the option to upload  any image size and have it compressed automatically would be benefitial rather than all your users having to manually make the image 50px.

When you upload an avatar it shows correctly next to posts using:

<?php sf_show_forum_avatar(get_the_author_email()); ?>

But the tag you supplied for the comments only recognises me as a user so I used this instead:

<?php sf_show_members_avatar($comment->user_id);?>

when someone leave s a post people can also leave comments on it, these show in a comment box.

It's entirely up to you with regards to resizing, I saw it was possible on the CMD-Avatars plugin but it's no big deal to me since I will simply direct my users to:

also… My users (non-admins) cannot find a place for them to upload an avatar, I got them to check the 'Profile' section of the forum but it's not there. Do they have to be set to a specific user level in WP?

You have to grant them permission to do so (see Admin > Forum > Manage Permission Sets)

Simple:Press Forum does not use user levels. You manage your users in the admin section. 'Manage user Groups' allows you to build groups of users (if you wish to - you can also just use the deafult setups). 'Manage Permission Sets' allows to to select what they can and cannot do.

Take some time to look through these and then go to manage Forums - edit one and see where the user groups are linked to forums. It may look a little complex but actually it is very simple and very powerful.

In fact - as I say to everyone although many users do not bother to do this - take some time to look through all the options as well.

Glad to hear it's working for you. It's already in the source code for the next update.

This is what I've been trying to do for so long I'm glad you guys got it to work I finally got it to work in my comments section of my blog posts, I have only one question left. What template tag do I use to display the default guest avatar for non members and the default member avatar for members who have no yet uploaded there own avatar in the comments?

This same way it works in the simple forum plugin.

sf_show_forum_avatar() which requires the commenters email address as the argument.

But now it only displays the default guest avatar even when I'm logged in…..

show us the code you used…  you must be passing it the commenter email address, so it must be in the comments loop…

<?php sf_show_members_avatar($comment->user_id); ?>

This is the code I'm using right now which works fine except that it doesn't show the default guest avatar for commenters who are not members.

Heres an example of a post that has members, non-members http://www.musicvideocast.com/2008/05/hot-styles-featuring-yung-joc-lookin-boy-video-2.html
