Gravatar doesn't show
I went to http://gravatar.com/ and signed up and submitted an icon and assigned it to my email address, but it doesn't show up on ohloh. I've logged in and out several times and waited a few hours.
One remotely possible cause is that on ohloh my email address is mixed case, but on gravatar they changed it to all lower case. I tried to change my email address to lower case here, but there didn't seem to be anyway to submit the change.
But regardless, the gravatar doesn't show up.
Incidentally, mine doesn't show either and I had both in small case from the beginning. Is there something not working with the gravatar integration?
ah - the mixed case solves it! The way we integrate into gravatar is by sending them an MD5 hash - to protect your actual email being sent in clearcase. I manually edited your email to be all lowercase and it now shows up.
Ken: the lack of 'submit' on the email change form is a bug - we'll fix it.
aviabd: Your email does seem all in lowercase here at Ohloh. Any chance you used mixed case on the gravatar end?
OK, now it shows up. Thank you.
But it looks like trash. It only shows about a quarter of the image, the colors are wrong and it's grainy. It looked OK on the gravatar site.
It's a png file about 19K. Is that too big or the wrong format?
Weird - I have not seen this problem before. The png file being 19k might be a problem, but the safest way to ensure faithful gravatars is to submit images that are 80x80 pixels (gravatar's native resolution). Let me know if that helps.
I converted it to a gif file (which made it much smaller) and changed it on the gravatar site. Now it looks good on my stacks page.
But the smaller version shown on this page is still bad. Hopefully that is only for this one topic page. I guess it's good to keep it that way on this one page so the posts make sense.
