Gravatars as GTP avatar?

[TheDabbinDave]

Which Gravatar code is supposed to be used here on GTPlanet?

GTP avatars do not support external links.

GTP avatars do not support external links.

But they work in the News page

The News page runs on different software than the main forums do.

Yeah, they run on different software and the avatar libraries are not linked. You cannot use a Gravatar here in the forums.

From what i understand, it's an avatar that travels with you from site to site. Such as from Twitter to Facebook to GTPlant's News Page comments to wherever else that supports it. It's supposed to be based on your email address.

How do you use it and how does it work? HECK (FRACK if you prefer an F word) IF I KNOW!!! Can't find that out on their page

You upload an avatar to Gravatar's website, where it's associated with your email address. Any time you register or post a comment using that same email address to a website using Gravatars, the site can load that same image as your avatar. It's a way to have one avatar that can be used across many different websites.
