Hey,
thank you for the nice script. Unfortunately it doesn’t work at my site. Either the the first snipet (with 1 default avatar) or the random-avatar-script.

Is there anything more to do to edit the path to the own avatar-directory?

My comments shows still the “mystical person”-avatar 🙁

In reply to Rio. No, currently there is no in-built functionality to do automatic image overlays.

Hi,
Is there any way to assign certain avatar based on role when a user register?
For example, a picture of person for User role, a pen for Editor, a computer for Admin, etc.
Or.., to assign a picture to roles (along with the user avatars).

The purpose is to see in a glance what role (or level) a user has.

Thank you

The idea of asking Gravatar if a gravatar was available before the page had responded seemed really bad as it slows down response time. I problem I think you’ve blogged about and solved with your avatar plugin that caches them.

I wrote a modification that means the default avatar is always assigned based on IP and passed to Gravatar as the default image. It doesn’t solve the problem of Gravatar being slow, but it means that slowness is in the image requests not in the all important page request.

In reply to John. The more details you can provide me the better I can help debug it. For example, which part is not working? Can you install? Can you activate? Can you go into Comments >> Cache Gravatar? What happens when you click on Cache Gravatars? etc.
