How about supporting it? I guess that it's not hard to implement. |

Do people actually use that service? I've never heard of it till just now.
If enough people use it, I could implement it. But if only a few people use it, might not be worth the time. :) |

Both stackoverflow.com (programming question site, quite big) and kongregate.com (flash gaming site, quite big) use it. Using it, you can display avatars based on a user's email address. That means the user doesn't even have to do anything. |

You upload your picture to their site, and I add code on BTG to fetch your image based on the email address you entered. The email address you entered here would have to match the email at Gravatar. |

Would there be a way to turn it off? I only signed up to Gravatar for a picture on that site for FF add-ons on user-scripts.org, and barely use it. And I don't necessarily want the same avatar for multiple sites. Seems like a good feature, options make everything great =]
Your avatar uploading system currently is wonderful, showing the 3 different types of views that may possibly show up around the site. |

Thanks. It did take a bit of work to create my own avatar system. I probably won't use Gravatar just cause there are few that use it, and like MidgetMan said, the avatar uploader I made works pretty good :) |
