Merged Problems with Gravatar avatar images

... as opposed to what? If you turn on the Gravatar integration, people either will have a Gravatar account - and, possibly they will have a Gravatar avatar image - or they will have the "no avatar" avatar image. It's obbvious that people will have one or the other, isn't it? Did I misunderstand something otherwise intended?

Gravatar is an external application, not installed on joomla site and should be only option for single user to use it. It is not the same as Community Builder and Jomsocial already installed on joomla site. How is designed now, Gravatar integration 'feature' is not usable for most of users.

@Tktemp I understand where the concern is coming from. I will forward this to the rest of our development team, however I cannot guarantee if and when this will be updated to work with this functionality. Thank you for detailing to us what you think the behavior of the software should be.

i just installed 2.0.1 and I cannot find anywhere to add an avatar for users. One of my clients just upgraded to 2.0.1 and all their avatars were replaced by the generic blue gravatar logo. There don't seem to be any controls or options for uplloading avatars for either users or admin.

Are we missing something or is the new version missing something? What should we do?

Thanks
Ed

Hi,
i think you enabled gravatar integration.

go to Backend - kunena - click on plugins.

then disable gravatar.

G'day, edandrea, and welcome to Kunena.

We often receive questions about people having problems with uploading avatars and these problems arise from a variety of causes. Sometimes the cause is not having sufficient read/write permissions on the folders where avatar images are stored; sometimes the problems are related to other components that people have installed on their websites.

The Gravatar issue is discussed elsewhere. Unless you know exactly how to use Gravatar integration, I would not recommend that you start using such advanced features until you know more about them. I don't know anything about using Gravatar image integration with Kunena. The only thing that I know is that Gravatar integration is controlled via a plugin and, if I was in your situation, I would disable it.

I assume that you (or your users) would not use Kunena to upload their own avatar images if you want, instead, to use Gravatar images. You (and your users) would need to use the Gravatar image upload facility.

Just wondering how to change the profile pic for my profile on a kunena forum. I signed up when it was running a previous version, the forum has since been upgraded. Could someone tell me how this is done.

Below are my configuration settings.

Thanks in advance
