I have had all those problem also don't give up the stuff works.
.1 I use CMPS i didn't name my index.php right
.2 Vbeso rewrote my members list avatars (setting needed to be turned off)
3. .htaccess was wrong on two levels....
Vbeso's htacess needs to be installed in the forums root folder in my case it is www.mysite.com/forum another htacess was needed to make my homepage work correctly, so i had to use an error redirect for a few days until I figured it out...
Don't give up it depends on your site structure all the stuff in here works if it doesn't it is operator error and the info is in here u just have to look for it
