New template tags are introduced for displaying user photos, including userphoto_the_author_photo(), userphoto_the_author_thumbnail(), userphoto_comment_author_photo(), and userphoto_comment_author_thumbnail(). These tags must be used within PHP script blocks.

The output can be customized using parameters for additional attributes and default images. The plugin supports multiple languages and allows for moderation of uploaded images by administrators.
