Added Gravatar support

I just wanted to quickly point out that we added support for gravatars earlier this week. Gravatars are popular universal avatars. If you haven’t uploaded a picture on Disqus, we’ll display your gravatar (if you have one) instead.

    seems not working for me:(
  • Can you shoot me a link here: http://disqus.com/help and I'll take a look.
  • Very cool.
  • yay gravatars!
  • How do you add your gravatar? Where do you get a gravatar? This is somewhat confusing, help me please. Thanks, Palo
  • The email you have for your account will pull the gravatar associated with
    it.

  • Wow that's totally cool!

    Are we able to see through the normal avatar if they are using gravatar or not?It looks to be rather convenient for users.
  • Are we only able to use gravatar now? As I have been trying to upload pictures as my avatar but it doesn't appear. If there are certain restrictions, I suggest that Disqus should have it indicated so that people can avoid doing it. Guess I should sign up a gravatar account now since most commenters gave positive comment about it.

    Gravatar didn't occur to me before reading this entry on gravatar supports. Have read through about gravatar and felt that it is a must to have support to it as I assured that it will be the upcoming trend of getting a uniform avatar throughout the web.

    There are plenty of users that relies on gravatar heavily. Therefore, the need of supporting gravatar is important as avatars do show the reliability of the account and certain people would prefer to have a similar picture used throughout the net.

    How do Disqus know if we have a gravatar account?Do we have to input anything that is related to it?
  • Janliao
    I don't have a gravatar account and attempt to upload my own avatar but i can't see it! Are there any restrictions of the uploading?
  • I will prefer to have my gravatar icon displayed on disqus. It is much easier to manage my default icon in most social networks.

    Hi all,

    Je viens de taper un commentaire.Au lieu de le publier vous me demandez un URL. Ceci n'était pas demandé, et ne l'est toujours pas. Pourquoi ces chicanes? Il y a de l'arbitraire dans l'air. Non?
  • Wow this feature seems great ! I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the update !
  • SEO
    Nice upgrade and that explains why our staff's account displays their images even though they have not uploaded their avatars.
  • Awesome upgrade... Thanks :-)

    quieri mi gravatar
  • Mike
    Wow thanks for this added functionality
  • Cool with Gravatar Support. :)
  • Very nice...
  • But one thing?? Can't it yet support gravatar for people who have not signed up with Disqus. That would be more cool if people not signed up with disqus could have their gravatars displayed.
  • I think it supports it.
  • Amazing..This is what I was dying for so long!! Disqus ROCKS!!
  • This is great news! I just signed up for a Gravatar. I'm going to have to put Disqus on my new WP blog too.
  • HE!!!HE TQ.
  • Nice jobs, guys!
  • Do you support Gravatar ratings? How about default Gravatars? Wavatars? Identicons?

    I also agree that being able to delete by Disqus picture and be able to use my Gravatar would be a great feature.
  • not support Gravatar
  • Agree

    very nice. thx for listening to feedback
  • Awesome upgrade... I should really do it for my blog too ; )
  • More smiling faces... nice work!
  • Is there a way to delete your Disqus avatar so that it's pulled from Gravatar instead?
  • Not yet, but we will support this. Thanks!
  • I'd also like this feature.
  • Mosscow
    Me too! Me too!!!
  • oh thanks
  • Anyone know if this works for all disqus software versions?
  • It does. Which version are you wondering about in particular?
  • Great! Will this also apply to users that aren't registered with Disqus?
  • kensavage
    seems to
  • Yup, everyone.
