[Building Sakai] JForum difficulties with avatars in a clustered environment

[Vivie Sinou]

Kathy - I'll have our Jforum lead get in touch with you to help you out. 

But, I wanted to take the opportunity to mention that we have removed the
use of Jboss cache in our latest Jforum version (2.7.x). We've been running
it in production since December 28 without cache successfully. I'll be
putting this release out to Sakai (as well as Melete) shortly - today or
Monday. 

Best,
Vivie
