On IE the text overlaps in the forum block. See screenshot. Is it possible to rectify that somehow please?

I'll take a look at the code. I'll probably end up cutting the text short at a certain character length if it's longer. The only other option is forcing it not to wrap, which I don't want to do on a sideblock since that'll squeeze out your forums.

Is there a way to include this addon on a custom template?

I made a modification that should fix this. If you are using the sideblock it will check if the forum name is over 25 characters long, if it is it will crop it down to fit. I also fixed an error in the cron script that picks a user.

Not sure what you mean by adding it to a custom template?

I do not want to use the addon on wgo (specially on default it is included on template_hook.forumhome_wgo_pos2). There should be a option, where i can define a custom template where to insert something like {vb:raw user_spotlight}.

You surely understand me now.
