Gravatars on CPMe?

[Sudrien]

http://gravatar.com/ keeps track of avatars based on your email address.

They show up all over the web based on sites that support the Gravatar service. My question is, should we use them?

not for the forum please. Not fun

 

[Sudrien]

Gravitars now used on comments too, with recognizable patterns for those that have not registered with the service.

I would suggest

Yes, and force forum users to use them, or not.

isn't that the same as third option?

How do these avatars work? Are they taken from the e-mail profile? I never cared to set an avatar THERE.

 

[Sudrien]

To set one up, one goes to http://gravatar.com/ and registers it in association with their email address. Afterwards, every blog or website with gravitar support will show it, as long as the same email address is given.

We will only show those that are g-rated.

One can always update their email address registered on the forum at ucp.php?i=profile&mode=reg_details if they registered with an an old one.

For the main site, they can update emails at http://canta-per-me.net/wp-admin/profile.php once they have logged in.

... I take it george1234 is divided between 1 and 4.

LOL, No! Its like Kera said, I support option 3, its just that when I wrote my previous post I wasnt sure it was what I wanted. The "option" will be available in the user control panel ?

 

[Sudrien]

Yes, it will be available in the control panel.

In fact, it is.

ucp.php?i=profile&mode=avatar

Gravatar says:

All we need is your email address!

THEN ALLOW MAIL.RU AND RAMBLER.RU, DARNIT!!!

Now, to try and remember how my [long-made and rarely ever visited] Gmail account was named...

EDIT: made a new account. Gosh, both Gmail and Gravatar are incredibly bitchy about password safety.
