Blog Post CommentHi Ricks- We already supported liking content in general.. this release simply adds support for liking comments and replies.

Blog Post CommentHi Julia, There's still no way to change the default avatar. The good news is that if you upload stock avatars, it's very easy for anyone to select one of your predefined, stock avatars Brian
