Gravatar cdn is slow++
I'm not saying it is my first choice, just that we don't want to be the ones supplying the images!
Give me Gravatar as an option but an automatic system for plopping them on S3 and I'm all for it.
We use imgur, speed is similar

Using imgur for your avatars?

Okay anyways, moral of the story is:
- If you have an issue, post it on GH so the community can discuss and most often than not we do fix or address it.

On GH and not on the NodeBB community? This is where we've always posted as it is the community. Never understood that you were wanting issues elsewhere.

Here is what avatars look like after an update to 0.9.0 on Gamrhaus which is, more or less, a test community for us..

@scottalanmiller
nodebb-plugin-gravatarv1.0.1 contains options to default new users to gravatar, and force all users to use gravatar.Users will still see the option to change their picture, so you'd probably want to hide the "Change Picture" button via css/js/template changes.

What theme are you using?
Persona
Doesn't look like you have the latest Persona theme installed.

Hmmmm.... looks like the upgrade script isn't working. After doing the upgrade and it thinking that it ran successfull, NodeBB lost the avatars but doesn't not appear to have upgraded.
-
Doing the whole process over again.... will report back.
-
Okay, second run fixed that. No idea what happened on the first run. Just repeated it and it was okay.
-
Okay, here is what it looks like after the Gravatar plugin has been installed....
-
Is there some trick to getting the Gravatar plugin to use Gravatar?
-
v1.0.2 hasn't shown up still. Seems odd...
-
This is what 1.0.2 looks like after the install...
-
1.0.3 worked, here it is now...
-
Looks like now it is only Gravatar, no fallback to local when there is a local from before. Better, but not quite a transparent move. We have users on the main forum that uploaded avatars before we forced them to gravatar and it has always been transparent. This isn't huge though, we can break them and force them to upgrade this way I suppose.
