Well, i have a gravicon account for the email i have, and yet, i still get the generic monkey picture by my posts. What am i doing wrong?

Paradox,

I'm not sure what the issue is. I thought it might be that your gravatar was rated R/X and we only allow PG gravatars. I turned that restriction off on my development copy of userscripts, and I still don't see your gravatar.

Visiting http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=... should show you your gravatar. It appears to be an issue in gravatar itself.

I'm having this same problem... we should contact the gravatar folks as they just released their new system and are still working out the quirks.

Do your Gravatars work on other sites? Do you have any unusual characters in your e-mail adresses? In case this site hashes e-mail addresses incorrectly in edge cases, or something.

I just added a gravatar to their site and I also suffer from the generic monkey picture?

iirc, when I first added my avatar, it took a few hours before it showed up on us.o.

My Problem seems to be with userscripts.org
My avatar hash should be: 920209660be3fd65426a1b0fcbc1b40f
But on checking the image properties, userscripts is checking for: 13c692fb3a5aa1f502035c95b1bd1f72
Just to also point out my gravatar is rated: G
If this isn't resolved within 1 week then I shall have to email the admin to get the value changed in the database.

Scratch that last post.
I have figured out what was wrong !
It turns out that when you sign up for gravatar.com they lowercase your email address.
However userscripts.com does not do this and the check for the gravatar against your email address is case sensitive.
I fixed the problem by lower casing my email address for here.
Maybe if the request code for the avatar on this end was changed to lower case the email address before it requests for the avatar associated with said email address would fix this issue and we wouldn't have this occur again.
But this is just a heads up, if you can't seem to get your avatar to display, check your settings page and make sure to lower case your email.

gravatar.com should not be doing that, since the user part can be case sensitive. It only matters if they actually tried to send you eMail, and I've never seen a mail server that didn't ignore case anyway.
But anyway, I'm sure your in-depth trouble shooting is helpful, perhaps a note on your settings page is in order - where it says "sign up for a free gravatar".

how long does it generally take for userscripts to pick up the gravatar pic? minutes? hours? days?

 
Jesse Andrews Admin

@brightbyte, it should be as soon as gravatar has it and has approved it.

You can email me (anotherjesse at gmail) if there are issues...
