My main reason for checking out Gravatar was the Comvatar plugin doesn’t work right in WordPress 2.3.1. I’m still not sure the exact reasons why it doesn’t work right, but it seems to malfunction when the commenter hadn’t posted a comment before the upgrade to 2.3.1. Seeing the broken image links just drove me crazy.

And of course, here I was thinking I’d set one up, but being the un-natural blond I am, I had not ~_~

Had to actually confirm the avatar to this email address *grumps*

I have to admit I kinda liked the way you had it set up before. Atleast there was less chance of people abusing the Gravatar PG option etc. but eh

I don’t know of one. Comvatar hasn’t had an update in like two years, but it still works fine for me as well. I’m just seeing which one works out better Comvatar or Gravatar.

Actually, the Comvatar plug-in is a little broken in 2.3.1. It seems that whenever a new commenter also leaves a URL and hasn’t registered a Comvatar it breaks.

An alternative to Comvatars as in the admin uploads avatars and the system chooses randomly each time somebody posts a comment.

Do you know of some alternative to Comvatars? It works for me (I’m using WP 2.3.1) but I’d like to update to something a bit more recent.
