Post installation

hi:
i have tried votes up/down, simplevote and ended up using nmoderation to implement something like digg.com.
it means that users post stories and they are promoted to the front page according to votes.

i have it running with nmoderation but the voting button is not very nice. i would like it to be ajaxed.

also i want a list of users who voted the node and their avatars to be displayed right below the node like in digg's Who Dugg this.

how can i automatically create a small avatar image from any image file or size that the user uploads?
i dont want to have big files so i wanted to be able to resize them on the fly.

thanks.

Just starting out with Drupal, it's been a very pleasant experience so far.

I'm trying to re-build my site using Drupal. When adding a page using the create content menu I'm getting the 'Submitted by ...' at the top of the page. How can I avoid that? I just want to build a small hierarchy of pages, not a news section.

Also, how can I configure which page is being displayed as the starting page (instead of the news section like headlines page).

TIA,
Hans

Here's what I'm tryingn to make possible. A user creates a node (using a CCK content type) with several fields, among them a node reference field that references node/12. We'll call that field field_reference1. And lets call the node node/23. When a user views node/23 they not only see the fields that user filled out for node/23 but also select fields that are being printed from node/12, including title and one or two other fields.

I know that to print a field from a node using CCK you would use this:

Hi there!
I´ve been playing around with Contact Form and Feedback modules.
Both are terrific. In special contact form, that is pretty versatile.

My problem here is that I need several forms with vary different purposes.
