So you may have noticed that "Gravatar":http://www.gravatar.com has been going through some "growing pains":http://www.gravatar.com/blog/archives/2006/11/29/gravatar-status/ and isn't working right now.

Until it's back, pages that use gravatars aren't loading quickly, or taking forever to load with broken images... Which is a little annoying. So here's a user script to replace the image's source with the site's default gravatar image.

? Gravatar Default Image ? Click to install

Note: This will only work on sites that use an @img@ tag to show avatars. If a site uses a gravatar url as a css @background-image@, well, you're SOL. However, with a little hacking, I'm sure you could tweak this script to do that too, if it was important to you. ;-)

I tested this with "Greasemonkey":http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ and "Creammonkey(Hey, I didn't name it)":http://8-p.info/Creammonkey/. It'll probably work on "Turnabout":http://www.reifysoft.com/turnabout.php, but I didn't test it.
