The forums on here we disabled avatars to everyone.  The system avatars (dnn core team icon) are the only ones permitted at this time.  One reason it was disabled is bugs, another we were on that shared server before.  We just moved dnn to its own box and I am working on the fixes for avatars this weekend (Just verifying them) and we will then be able to open them up here although I am not sure we are going to just yet.

As you can see here the Last post and sorting issues have already been corrected.  I think I have handled the FireFox problems already but will verify over this weekend.  I would be watching for the next forums release on/before the 25th.  (I am fairly certain this is a solid date.)

Looking forward to seeing the update. Great job guys!

By the way, i have some problems with encoding: My forums use Vietnamese, everything seems fine since utf-8 support Vietnamese. But unfortunately, some components seem not to use utf-8. For example, the moving threads window couldn't handle threads with title contains Vietnamese characters (such as: ế, ậ, ừ, ỗ.....)
