Firstly the avatar hack. Thanks to Firefly for writing and sharing this code. For reference, Fireflys original avatar hack can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=32560. On with the hack...

Open index.php (NOTE: *not* admin/index.php) and find:

#############################
$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
show_nopermission();
}
############################

and directly after it add this...

############################
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
$avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($avatarurl=='') {
$avatarurl='images/avatars/noavatar.gif';
}
$avatarimage='<a href="member.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=editavatar"><img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0">';
} else {
$avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="images/avatars/guestavatar.gif" border="0"></a>';
}
############################

and

Again in index.php, find:

############################
// if user is know, then welcome
############################

and directly under it add this...

############################
$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread WHERE lastpost > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE dateline > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
