IMG tag does not work in the signature space provided. Schlaeps says that once he finds a good size filter, this will be fixed.
Any more?

Did you triple check the link?
It works here.
I did it!

Schlaeps said it won't work until they find a good height filter for it.
Other issues I have found:
1) "LEGOs" as referred to in the description for the "Other Films" category, is incorrect, it is "LEGO bricks." This is nitpicky but given the nature of this website it'd probably be good to get it right, I know a lot of AFOL sites can get rather touchy about this particular detail.
2) The description for the Coffee Shop is not grammatically correct. Sorry I'm being picky about this, but I thought you'd probably rather know than not know. 
3) The avatar size limit is very small, at 70 x 70 pixels. Perhaps this is deliberate, though I personally felt the 81x81 limit from the old BricksinMotion forum was small enough.

Fixed the two forum issues.
I think the avatar size is a tad small, but livibly so. Punbb actually suggests 60x60.
Were they 70X70 on the previous version? I could have sworn they were bigger. I had to shrink down my Mr Sprinkles picture (which was 80x64) to get it to fit. If storage space is an issue, could we get an option to have avatars linked to another site?

I believe they were 81x81 previously because that's what my current avatar was saved as in my majhost folder.
I was thinking maybe have a patron program that allows donators to have slightly bigger avatars?
From the "bugs" thread:

Yes, they were 81x81 before.
Well, I think the biggest issue (as you would find quickly on larger images) is that your avatar size is often GREATLY bigger than your post size, making posts ridiculously long to read at times.
Whoa, you moved it inside of another thread... I didn't think it was a "bug" which is why I made a different thread and I hadn't even looked in this thread, sorry bout that. eh oh well.
Anyways I've always thought 81x81 was a great size for avatars. the thing that has always annoyed my was large signatures and signatures that had 2 images would double up (stack) on top of each other when the window was smaller than the 2 images side by side.
Well it's not really a bug but i've been testing the Private Messaging feature and it's quite annoying how it doesn't notify you when you have a new message, is there a way to turn notifications on or does it not notify you at all?

in the Feedback forum why does it say that 3 different people created a thread.
I've used forums that allow avatars up to 100px x 100px, and they don't really get in the way of the posts.
This as my sig won't work:

I don't really like the forums here. There are no "Bricks" or "General brickfilmg" ones. It would be good to have these.

That's because I merged several threads on the same topic, and it left little tags to say they'd been merged. I believe those are temporary.
I have some suggestions for the forum categories. I think we need to have a "general" forum for discussing brickfilming not not necessarily from a technical standpoint, but in terms of various films discussed together (for example, favorite brickfilms, discussion of genres, etc.) Also this forum could be used to discuss LEGO in general, or that could be its own separate forum. I'm in favor of lumping them together.

I like the cinema effect in the events page, but I think it's a tad too dark. This is probably personal preference though.
