 * Hello,
 * I noticed the user role must be author at minimum in order to upload their own
   avatar. Any way to change this? I am trying to use it on a bbPress forum and 
   would rather not make everyone authors.

 * Hello FStop,
 * Make sure to check the “Anyone can upload” option under the [Settings Discussion Screen](http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Discussion_Screen)
   as it isn’t enabled by default.
 * Please let me know if it helps.
