I am using the Forum plugin and am curious if it has the capability to use Avatars AND Private Messaging? These seem to be two things my users really want.. Thanks...

The short answer is yes.. The forum plugin will use the PM feature of Chatterblock and optionally display the users uploaded profile image. Blaine

Works a champ Blaine (as always), what if I want to do away with the ability for the user to use the block for public messages but still keep the private message functionality in place?

I don't see the avatars, I have uploaded an image at 96X96 DPI, changed the config.php to allow for this size as well as the forum image size settings. Is there something else which needs to be enabled to show this by the post?

Yeh but its a feature in our to-be-released version. I've been using this added feature for weeks and forgot it was not in the pre-release version. Blaine

How close are we to this release? Is it in CVS?

Where can I download the Forum Plugin? The only one I can see on this site says phpBB module.

You can get the pre-release version on the geeklogplugins site here
