I now have to give a big thumbs up to Gravatar for following up on this even when I decided that creating a new account name meant that the problem was half-fixed and I couldn’t be bothered any further. The different name meant I could get the avatar on my blog page, but not on the main SquidTop page or on any comments.
So, in my grumpy mood, I didn’t even bother to email them back to tell them it had half worked. Instead they read my blog and worked out from that what had happened. And then they managed to switch the name of my new account back to “daoine”.
All sorted. Thank you Gravatar! That’s great customer service

Glad the avatar woes are over! I like it when I see avatars. At a glance it “clicks” with me faster than a username, even when it’s a name I’m very familiar with.

I agree, I identify with someone best when I see their avatar. It’s a lot nicer. Pleased you managed to get the problem fixed.

My husband thinks I’m complete dork because I about fell off the sofa I was laughing so hard. Truly, you’re just cracking me up with the tags.

I didn’t even read those tags till Susan pointed them out - they are funny
