There was a bit of a problem (isn’t that what betas are for?) with the email sending facility that caused signups to fail. I’ve fixed the problem and it shouldn’t happen again. Sorry for the troubles, get back to those gravatars!

Yay – it’s working now for me. Thanks Tom. Now I just have to make sense of the “simple” instructions for implementing this on my WP blog. If plugins are meant to assist the clueless then my brain has been been removed!
I won’t mention the amazing speed increasing.
Gravatar works just fine right now.
My site and my wordpress are happy. Thank you♥
thanks for fixing the sign up problem…
im really happy now…
thank you very much..
Now it seems to work ;). Thanks!
Oh , I fixed my problem after I clicked “Remove the gravatar from this email address” then re-choose my new gravatar image. My site show up new gravatar image finally.
I’d really like to take part in the beta.
I received it, THANKS!!
I wonder if my gravatar is fixed yet…
I have not receive my invitation for the beta. 😦
My confirmation mail didn’t arrive either
Can’t get my activation to work, always getting a “Proxy Error”…
I can’t upload a gravatar, this message ->
Oh no! There was a problem!
There was a problem creating your gravatar. We’ve logged the error and will look into it. Try uploading your gravatar again in a few minutes.
Firfox and IE the same message! 😦
Quoting Susanne. Same error.
It’s worked really well so far:)
Works for me without problem. How many gravatar can be assigned to an email? Can we have something like: “You can upload up to X gravatar”? Or, is it unlimited? Thanks!
Sweet 😉
testing 2..
Nope, I’m still not getting my mail..
This is a test to see if my avatar uploaded. Am having problems with the avatar uploader thingy, uploader from my computer won’t work at all, and over the internet, every image I try gives me a size too big error, 40×40 is bigger then 0x0 that will not fly, error. then, I press the back button on my browser, and hit cancel, the image shows up in my list, but the image is cropped. cuts off part of my head, still buggy yet. Good test run though 🙂
I don’t know how to “select a gravatar below to assign to this email address”. I’ve got the image available but I can’t link it to my email.
Si, malto grazie, Signori!
And Happy Valentine’s Day
🙂
Still not working right for me.
thanks it wouldnt work before
😦 taky nedoslo
Quoting Susanne too. Uploading from my hd won’t work!
For those of you that have not received your invitations, if you’re using Gmail check your spam box, which is where mine ended up.
I too am now having upload issues.
My first comment disappeared.
I have not receive invitation to this page 😦
Email went into gmail spam. Uploading from hard drive returned this error:
Oh no! There was a problem!

IE 6.
I found TWO problems:
1.- The confirmation email for a new account was rated as Spam by Gmail.
2.- The creation for a new gravatar always sent me an error if my image was already 80x80px or 400x400px, it only worked when I sent a 800×600 image, and it was cropped whith a little of blur.
I´m still waiting for my gravtar to show up when i write on blogs
Cool this gravatar really works! Thumbs up…
I tried to change my gravatar, now it won’t add either one.
Also, my new gravatar is way tamer than my old one…yet it gets X!!! The other got an R!!! What’s going on??
I’ve tried a few times with my email, and I’m still not receiving the invitation. It has no spam, and all mails come directly into my server, so I don’t know what could happen.
I tried with a gmail account and I received it in spam, but I don’t use that mail. Any chance of fixing it?
Hey…there is a problem in the web that doesn’t allow me to select the specific gravatar for my email..thanxs
The Assign function doesn’t work with IE 7.0. Works fine in Firefox
First of all: a really BIG thx to you!
The “Upload from harddrive” issue still exists, but only if the image is smaller than 180x180px! For testing I created a 80×80 JPG picture and painted a white border with 50px width around it. Upload and crop is fine in IE7 and Firefox 2.0.0.1.
Once again: great work!
Awesome! Works great! I’ve got my gravatar showing up on my site as well as my visitors. Thanks!
Yea, I don’t get the mail either. Since I couldn’t change the e-mail address on my old GRAvatar, I tried to reg for the new one, but I cannot. I tried «forgotten password» form with no luck as well.
Thank you, Tom, for getting Gravatar back up and running. I am having a problem uploading and/or displaying animated GIFs. This one shows as movable in my Gravatar reserve, however, on blogs, he is stationary. Another one I uploaded does not even show the animation. Is this a temporary situation? They worked in the past. Thanks again.
why wont my avatar show up as assigned to my email address?
crop tool is really kool.
Estoy probando el Gravatar. =)
testando!!
Could only assign the gravatar to the email address in Firefox, not IE7, but now it’s done. Thanks!
just to know if my gravatar works…
My Gravatar works – maybe?
Not sure if mine is working either?
No gravatar here; signup looks to be working just fine, but no gravatar image anywhere. 😦
Hello I submitted my payment for the premimum service but still cannot access that???
that ??
Thanks, Dru
Great job on the new site, Tom. Finally, an end to the frustrations!
Nice work!
Test my gravatar !
I agree, signup, cropping and confirmation all work fine, but avatar doesn’t show up.
why my avatar not showing?
yo!
Hey Tom,
Here is what the website http://www.mmahq.com has to say about our non-working gravatars…
@DENNIS and BV
you can see that your gravatar isn’t working by going to this link:
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=b4f4e429560b426605ed234ba6a27577
that is the link for the email address you use. So either you don’t have a gravatar setup correctly on their website, or its a problem on their end. nothing that I can do.
@BV
same thing with you dude. here is your link
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ec6bfd1208375ed9b5e47d1f8fb5a83c
nothing comes back but the generic icon
