Bug report:
It will not allow me to upload from my hard drive. Gives an error on any image type after upload.
I was able to upload via URL but then when it went to crop mode it kept throwing an error “80×80 is larger than 0x0 and that’s not going to fly”
Last but not least, gif transparency is lost after upload?
For me it just worked fine 🙂 One note, the Gravatar logo on the bottom of the homepage…
Yuhuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!
YUPIII! Finally, the Gravatar’s blog is here!
Waiting for centuries… lol
Excellent!!…
It works!! It works!!!
This is so confusing. Your interface links to options only available in a paid account even though I don’t have one. You should have a separate layout for people that can only have one email and gravatar at a time, which is most of us. The way it is now is going to be annoying for many people.
works fine! great stuff 🙂
W00t! 😉
Seems to be working great. Thanks for your hard work.
Nice job! The interface is beautiful.
Took me a while to find the delete button but it worked eventually.
Hooray!
Excelent job. Congrats!!!!
Yeeeessss!!!!!!!!
cool ::!!
Well, it let me upload a picture, but I couldn’t save it or anything. Site looks great though. Maybe I’ll try again…
It was about time.
Love it!
Fantastic, everything looks great so far.
Cool! It works!
hi… i can not assigen the gravatar to the email….
Good to have you back, really missed Gravatar.
Thanks for your good work.
Sweet, everything went swimmingly. One thing, though: when it goes to the crop action for my image, it has a black background. But my image also has a black background, so I could hardly see what was going on. A small nitpick, sure.
Glad to have you back!
I can’t upload from my hard drive, I get errors. And when I upload from a URL, I get another error, but it says there’s a gravatar in my /emails thing. But it doesn’t show the picture of the actual avatar. Maybe I’ll try with a different browser (I’m using Firefox right now)
It worked like a charm with me. There are some minor adjustments needed; I’m sending those over the email. Good job, Tom!
Uhm… I don’t like the way to change avatar with free accounts. You have to un-register avatar, then you have to click on a cross that appaer on the icon when you go with the mouse on it, then yo have to upload a new image, then you have to activate it….
I think that the 50% of yoers of my blog will not be able to understant it… 😦
Hmm… something I need to say something monumental… Mary had a little lamb…;)
Well, if Thomas Edison can get away with it.
That “pay for more” is annoying me. Why don’t you create another interface for free accounts, with messages offering better accounts instead of giving upgrade$ messages at “add more” links?
I don’t now… It seems like you’re deceiving users someway, or at least making the site “just for the money”. I won’t support Gravatar on my sites that way. 😦
If money is your problem, I hope Google buy your site soon. 😛
yep
Can you disable the “Upgrade Now for only $10 a year ” in the Beta-Version?
Otherwise we cant test the “more-mail/more-picture”-Version
Hello,
first time I recognized this Gravatar thing signing up was disabled. But I decided to wait because I wanted to know how it works. I looked forward to this day, signed up, made my gravatar. But ist doesn’t work. It doesn’t work even in my very own blog (wordpress).
The image URL that is returned by the gravatar() function links to that blue Gravatar logo. And the default picture I specified is not shown.
Well, maybe it does not work properly because it is currently a beta version. So I’ll still will look forward to…
Sorry if the English is that bad but it’s not my mother tongue. I hope you understand… 😉
OY
My gravatar won’t update. Damn!
Sweet! Everything looks like it’s working, although I did have a problem uploading my avatar using firefox.
Ok, that’s great! But I have a doubt. My gravatar is there, under the e-mail address, but it does not appear in comments yet. Is that normal? Thanks.
woOow!!! ya era hora!!, ya teniamos tiempo esperando poder sacar nuestra cuenta de Gravatar, la verdad me dio flojera comentar en ingles asi que se aguantan y lo leen en español, de todos modos se que hay mucha gente de habla español.
Muchas felicidades al equipo de Gravatar por esta nueva etapa que estan a punto de iniciar, nuestros mejores deseos desde Bitslab.net desde mexico
Works fine.
I’m getting an Application Error in both Safari and Firefox. I don’t know what it means?

experienced the same problem.
Won’t allow me to upload from my hard drive. 😦
Glad it’s back though!
Alot of people seem to be getting this error when signing up.

Trackback:
Nach einer (sehr langen Pause) wird es wieder Bunt auf den Blogs dieser Welt. Gravatar.com ist wieder offen. Nach der geschlossenen Beta-Phase der letzten Wochen hat die Seite gestern Ihre Pforten wieder für alle geöffnet.
Allen, die mich in den letzten…

ya era hora! la verdad!! tengo ganas de cambiar my gravatar de una vez
Great work!, worked like a charm in a WinXP + Firefox machine, one suggestion… state the “default” size for the gravatars (80×80 px) somewehere and when the user uploads a picture 80×80 skip the crop section.
I, too get that Application error others get…. 😦
It works if you already have an account.
Password reminder and Signup it’s broken
I just tried to sign up, and I get the same error as the others;

great site! really simple but effectiv!
just one suggestion: get the size of the gravatar-default image smaller! you will save traffic 😉
All I hear is blah blah blah geek blah geek. Just make it user friendly for tech tards like me. Thanks:)

Like the others who couldn’t sign up, I’ve tried to sign up using IE, Firefox and Opera to no avail. But the new version’s set to be launched on 15 Feb 2007. Hope that by that time, signing up would already be a breeze.
Please include me in the beta as well. Thanks 🙂

“Service Temporarily Unavailable

Additionally, a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
The site is down… 😥
That’s so sad: all those troubles… I’ve hoped you could revive Gravatar!
For me the site doesn’t respond.
I want my gravatar! Sigh! Sigh!
Isn’t working for me, gives a 503…
gravatar sign up doesn t work fine…what is the problem?
gravatar site isn’t working for me either.
I get The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems
Thanks a lot ! Works great !!! Cool to have gravatar back …
Nice beta! I understand that you want to limit the amount of gravatars in a free account but as of now you can get around it but pressing the back button in your browser and upload another one (by this I mean from a URL and not from the hard drive, haven’t tried that) and another one and so on….
I have now 6 gravatars in my account… So you might want to look in to that…
yea!
Hey Tom… just as an aside:
Where can you be in San Francisco and NOT have decent internet access?
Just signed. Waiting for my link to set my gravatar….
nice
Absolutly great! Thanks a lot.
Awesome!
Thanks a lot!
This version rocks! Thanks! Works fine except for my newly changed avatar that won’t appear on websites: the old one remains…
I love the interface and all but i guess the most important upgrade would have been avatars showing up where it should be.
Yeah~ Finally, it opened!
Realmente funciona?
After two days my avatar still does not show up!?
Cool photo cropping tool, and a great interface in general.
However, I set up my gravatar two days ago, and it’s still not showing on tv.winelibrary.com!
Any ideas???
Got gravaters on my site. Pretty spiffy.
nice 🙂
Pssst….
Cadê o avatar????
Bug report:
It doesn’t fucking work.
Gravatar 2.0 makes Microsoft code look bulletproof.
Way to kill a good idea, Tom. 😡
great!!
Test
http://israblog.nana.co.il/272519 come in here everyone… yeah (: finally 🙂 2.0 sweet how do i get it work? ^^ i didn’t understand how i can use it in my weblog
Testing
hh
Two days,why my gravatar still does not show up?
test per vedere se effettivamente funziona
err..
$3 a year would be a lot more enticing. Or at least run a promotion. $10 is unrealistic for an icon.
that’s fine 😉
[…] este post de Tom Werner, a partir de hoy está abierta al público la nueva versión de […]
hello world
Just checking if the picture shows up
Sorry about this I’m having a bug issue…
thanks
