COOL feature

Hi,
When I started to read, I was wondering if anyone was going to be brave enough to point out the PM pop-up was on the old forum.

Any word on WHEN OR IF we will have a chatroom? And any word WHEN OR IF we will be able to put an avatar under our username?

One more, I see that some of you are putting images in your posts, though small ones, does that work now? I could only do a link.
