Welcome to Gravatar 2.0!

February 16, 2007 | Posted by Tom Werner

I’m pleased to announce the release of the all new gravatar.com 2.0! It’s the same great Gravatar you’ve come to know and love, now with more features and better scalability.

As always, you can sign up for free and get:
- One email address per account
- Two gravatars per account (and an easy way to switch between them)

Or upgrade to Gravatar Premium and get:
- Unlimited emails per account
- Unlimited gravatars per account (makes switching between them easy!)

Gravatar 2.0 allows you to upload any size image which you can then crop to your liking with the built in cropper, making it easy to get your images just the way you want them. In addition to uploading from disk, you can now choose an image off the internet, making it simple to use photos from Flickr or your favorite website.

While every gravatar will still have a rating, it will now be up to you to make that judgement call. Putting this power in your hands means no more long waits to see your image online, and makes possible our upcoming API that will allow you to manage your gravatars from external applications!

With G2 comes a brand new, highly scalable server architecture that will enable Gravatar to grow. The new architecture is backwards compatible with existing plugins, but introduces a new, simpler URL format for requesting gravatars. This new format will become the basis for an updated set of plugins that will be forthcoming. These new plugins will begin to leverage some of the exciting online identity enhancements that are already in the works.

This release is just the beginning of a big change in how users interact on the web. Keep an eye on this weblog for news about upcoming features and plugins.

Welcome to Your Identity—Online.

    I stand corrected; it APPEARED that I’d set it properly in the program; it’s not even propagating to comments here.

    I couldn’t apply an image to my email address using IE6, but tried Firefox and it worked first time. So far my gravatar hasn’t worked though.

  12. Corrado Says:
    February 16, 2007 at 6:24 am

    How long is the propogation supposed to take for gravatar images to show up on supported blogs?

    Is there any planned support for moving GIF avatar images? The crop tool fails to load when I try to upload one, but it will show as an available avatar (despite being too big).

    I do have a question about switching gravatars…how do I know the one I’ve chosen is accepted? I have two in my selection area and when I click on one, it’s just highlighted in red and i have no other options of what to do. Do I just log out?

  81. Mindy Says:

  82. Mitron Says:
    February 16, 2007 at 6:24 am

    I can upload an avatar, but when I go to add it to my email address all I see is an error in the status bar using IE6 or IE7. When I return, the avatar still doesn’t appear next to the email. What gives? Does this only work with Firefox?

    If it helps anyone, I published a step-by-step guide on how to get your own Gravatar on my Blog. I know most people will be able to get through the process all on their own with no troubles, but there’s always going to be some of your Blog readers out there who need to have their hands held in order to get set up. Hope it helps someone…

    i’m not sure this is working. and since there is such great support here, i’m feeling the urge to pay you money.

    aside from that, i paid for my last account. i guess that doesnt carry over, eh?

    all in all, methinks gravatar needs a wee bit of competition! alas, i’m not in the Gravatar business, so i will limit my pressure to comments that will serve to do little more than briefly lower my blood pressure. okay. carry on.

    February 16, 2007 at 6:24 am

    I have been waiting for the 2.0 service to launch. It did, I enabled my Gravatar plugin on my blog, upgraded my Gravatar account to a premium account, and now the service is down. Oh well… I work in technology and understand that these things happen. I can imagine that with the recent launch of 2.0 the load on the server must be incredible.

    I hope you guys get it fixed soon. Good luck! I’ll be patiently waiting!

    Thanks for a great service!

    I just changed my gravatar yesterday and two of my friends registered and uploaded their pics the day before. I checked their gravatar either by looking at their comments on my blog (gravatar supported and official plugin installed) or directly entering the URI in my browser but I only see default blue “G” icon for them and my avatar unchanged.

    I would like to know for how long we have to wait before our gravatars are updated. Is it due to cache settings on your server?

    Someone know how to solve this.

    The cache seems to be entirely too aggressive. I replaced my gravatar yesterday and deleted the old one, yet the old one is still displaying.

    If the basic functions don’t work, there’s no way many people will ever consider paying for additional features.

    Hi,
    I registered a gravatar just a few days ago. Before that, I posted my comments everywhere with capitals in the email address, so, as gravatar uses md5 hashes and modified my email address to remove the caps, my gravatar isn’t displayed at those previous comments. Can you fix this and replace my email address (or the hash) in your database with the address entered here? Thanks a lot.

    Nice answer, Corrado. It seems to fit with the problem’s everyone’s having. If it matters at all, a ping on IRC yesterday revealed that Tom has not been active for 4 days and 20 hours, right around the time of this very posting. Perhaps he *did* die. In any case, he better have an equally good excuse should he ever come back here.

    I agree with Gmartintin: I have a blog and Gravatar doesn’t work with 50% of my user.
    I asked to a couple of them to give me their password and even using my picture (which works) their Gravatars doesn’t work. This is NOT a problem of the plug-in I use because their gravatar doesn’t work with your php example code too.
    I’d like to give you some of the address which have the problem, but you don’t have any email for support or something.
    It could be great if you report something here about this thing, which is certainly a CRITICAL bug.

    Not to worry folks. Werner will soon launch a brand new set of apologies and promises. He’s very good at launching those – perhaps the best. Seriously, is everyone here so new to Gravatar, that they fail to see the hilarity in it all. I mean Tom Werner is the very definition of an internet tragedy.

    Looking at this list, seems like there are many default “gravatar” icons here. Is something malfunctioning?

    Trying to implement gravatars for my users but all accounts are just returning the default Gravatar image. Using the PHP code (there’s not much of it) from the implement section of the site.

    The caching is not working well for me either. I started using Gravatars on my site but everyone that signs up, their Gravatar’s just stay as the blue block, even now 3-4 days later. I assume it’s a cachine issue?

    Also, maybe you should have a bug tracker or something as the real reports of bugs are getting lost in-between all the rude people on this blog.

    If Tom is the only sole person doing this service, he has come along way. Now if he’s doing this service out of charity to give back to the community in part, don’t you all think that you should at least give him a chance to get this figured out? Financial obligations for a venture this huge maybe overwhelming to him at times or it could just be the stress everyone has been putting on him, who really knows except Tom. If you were all really the kind and considerate people out there, then feel free to chip in and give him a lending hand instead of bitching about it. Personally I run my own site and do everything on it myself. Its not easy when everyone wants a hand out for nothing. For those that have an issue in waiting until Tom gets everything resolved, feel free to put your avatar on the sites you visit manually. Then when Tom gets it all resolved, then you can remove your pic from all the sites if you wish and use Gravatar. I’m not sure but I think Tom had a donation box someplace on the site at one time or another. Pitch in!

    Of the first 20 comments here, only 4 do not display gravatars. Of the last 20 (not counting doubles), I see about 3 gravatars for 20 posts.

    To me this suggests that it simply takes a long time for all the newly registred gravatars to come through on the new system. It probably takes a lot of time to index or crawl or sort or cache or whatever is done to all these users.

    Since I have lived several years without them, I guess I can survive another week or two before I start panicing.
