Disable Gravatar

[Tanner]

I'd like the ability to disable the automatic Gravatar-ing of profile images in the ACP, since it's currently hardcoded and there's no way to shut it off.

The case could be made to turn gravatar integration into a plugin...

You'd at least be able to incorporate multiple default image plugins if that were the case, i.e. random kitten photo generator or something more useful.

Nothing is more useful than kitten pictures. Kitten Pictures make the world go round.

Now you've done it, now you've given me motivation to make this a reality.

@julian, I'll give you one internets for a kitty generator. Since every little bit helps, and all.

Makes sense to me. So far we've abstracted out most 3rd party things (let's say, FB SSO for example). Why not gravatar then, sounds good to me.

Might i suggest the possibility of pulling profile pictures from Facebook and linking them?

Though this feature might only work if the respective user have the ability to tag their facebook profile to their nodebb account.

Was looking for this in the settings. Adding my vote for this.

Actually, I believe the Twitter SSO plugin does this already, although we could also add that in for the Facebook plugin.

Don't mean to push, but was wondering if it's possible to disable Gravatars?
