How to build a theme – allow users to upload their own Avatar – and more q's

Hi I’m just messing around with Buddy Press and I want to know if Buddy Press is capable of the following things:

– How can I allow users to upload their own Avatar and not simply rely on Gravatars?

– How do I make my current theme a “Buddy Press” Theme with little hassle?

– The seperated Groups and Forums is all a little confusing to me, is there a video or something explaining how the forums themselves work? Is there anyway to make it all more like a traditional Forum?

Thanks for any tips

1) Avatars – users can upload their own avatar. Please check out testbp.org for a demo of BP.

2) Use the BP Template Pack plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Be sure to go through all the steps in the plugin.

3) Go to testbp.org and try the group forums yourself. If you want a traditional forum script, use bbPress, vBulletin, phpBB, etc. BP is not a forum script – it’s social networking in a box!
