Where can I find Smilies PAK to install into YAF? :-D

YAF uses phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com) compatible PAK files. Since phpBB is well supported, smilies packs should be easy to find. (A Google search for "smilies" and "PAK" should turn up a few things.)
Links:

Where can I find Avatar graphics to install into YAF?

Do a Google search for "forum" and "avatars" or the links below have quite a few.
Links:
http://www.avatarity.com/
http://www.hotavatars.com/
http://www.phpbb-design.com/avatars/

Edit

How do I install Avatars into YAF?

Navigate to the YAF directory "/images/avatars".
Make a directory for your avatars (images placed in the base "/images/avatars" will not be shown).
Copy or unzip the graphic files into that directory. (e.g. Download a pack of music-related avatars from one of the links above and unzip it into "/images/avatars/Music".)
The avatars will now be available in the edit profile->select avatar link.

I installed Yaf on my rainbow-based portal, and had detected that my text area in Postmessage dialog is only 2 string width in Microsoft Internet Explorer. In Firefox everything is good.

If the default.aspx used by the forum has DOCTYPE declaration: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional// EN" "http://www.w3.org/ TR/xhtml/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
In file editors/forumeditor.cs change in line 77(?): m_textCtl.Attributes.Add("style","height:100%;width:100%;"); to height:297px
Rebuild the forum.
If you cannot rebuild the forum, try changing the default.aspx's DTD or remove the <!DOCTYPE ... line from the file, but beware - it might compromise the look of other pages that use the same default.aspx (i.e. if you user DNN or Rainbow)

Edit

How can I allow a user to add/edit access to a particular private forum without him/her being a site admin

Create a group that has an admin mask for that particular private forum. Add the user who is going to be able to add/edit access to that group. The user then can go to the private forum click and click moderate. There they can "invite" other users to the private forum as either a User/Moderater/Admin for that forum.

Edit

How can I protect my theme from being "stolen" by copying CSS, XML and image files?

You cannot hide CSS file effectively since user's agent has to read it in order to get theme working. As for theme's XML definition, if you have access to Internet Information Services (IIS), go to the YAF's themes/ directory, find the themeName.xml file, right-click it > click Properties> Uncheck "Read" > Click OK.
