phpBB, the most widly use bulletin board software has a Gravatar plugin that can be installed very easily with AutoMod (the plugin installer for phpBB), and, according to Area51 of phpBB, if I’m not mistake, the upcoming release of phpBB version 3.1 will have gravatar support built in by default. I run a phpBB board at http://www.chickentalk.org and it supports gravatar, recently added today

It shocks me how many people are not using Gravatar to upload an image. If you are going to take the time to comment on blogs then you need to take the time to add a face to those comments.

We don’t have a list in a single place, but that’s a neat idea. I’ll see if we can start collecting sites and put them all together somewhere.

Please, I have a question? Is there any list of platforms and internet sites where I can use Gravatar? I think this will be very helpful for new users. I don’t mind to cover all available services, but common/big ones.

That’s a great idea, although if you’re requesting the JSON version, you should be able to just detect the 404 and handle that in your single callback. We’ll see if there’s a better way we could handle that.

Big fan of Gravatar, I love the profile stuff! I’m using it now for my blog, it’s great.

There is one issue I have with embedding profile information into a page. If you try to load profile information for a user who doesn’t have a Gravatar account, the server will respond with a 404. It would be nice if there was a feature (like the “d” parameter for avatars) to specify a “default” callback when no profile exists so developers can handle this case.

I maintain the Gravatars Plugin for OS X address-book. Unfortunately the link on the gravatar site is wrong. It should be http://blog.nomzit.com/gravatars-address-book/

(gravatar.com has no feedback link!)

I registered a gravatar thingy as part of WordPress signup, and although it went smoothly I’m disappointed that I can’t include my OpenID in “Verified Services”. An OpenID on one’s own domain should be the primary way people confirm their identity, not a truckload of dumb social sites.

It was so easy to set up. I previously thought I’d have to reduce my pic to the required no of pixels x pixels, and found it was too hard to do that with my software and get a decent image. And I love the way it’s retrospective (ie when I look at past comments I’ve posted on the web, my pic is there, and looks great IMHO).
