If anyone has clear directions on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated! Seeing that stupid '?' in place of a great avatar just doesn't cut it.

My avatars show in my comments. At first they did not. I know you don't want to hear the make a folder instructions but that really does fix the problem. I had to rebuild my avatar cache as well. The permissions of the folder are important as well. Maybe it matters if your avatar images are being stored in your database or file system? Maybe it matters what theme or skin you are using? Wish I could help you out better here. I had a ruff time installing but worked it all out.

Secondly, maybe I'm just ignorant, but I cannot figure out how to add a hoster. Even where, as with Veoh, an xml file is provided, there are no instructions anywhere I can see as to what to do with it and how to 'add' a video site.

This I am sure I can help you with. I agree the instructions for adding back in the hosters is very poor.

I will assume your video admin panel is showing up correctly inside your vb AdminCP. If you see "Video Directory" listed then it should be.

Adding Hosters Instructions
1. Go to AdminCP > Video Directory > Manage Hoster
2. In the field labeled "import the XML file from your server" you will need to type in the following hoster xml info one by one to add them in.

./includes/xml/videohoster-Dailymotion.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-MegaVideo.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-Metacafe.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-Veoh.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-Vimeo.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-VimeoHD.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-YouTube.xml
./includes/xml/videohoster-YouTubeHD.xml

3. Copy and paste the above hoster xml locations in and click "Import" following the on screen prompts.

These instructions are how you re-import the default hosters or in the future add in new ones which get developed.

Finally, why can we not add an image or banner to the custom text atop the Video Directory - other bb codes work but the image tags will not. That's just strange?

What image code are you using and where exactly are you entering it?
