No, that's not correct. We use libravatar as the fallback for people who do not have a federated server set up. People *can* set up a federated server if they don't wish to let libravatar serve their icons or know their details, but they don't have to. > this sounds like a waste of time just to add my image to some records > in BTS. All you have to do is have a properly set up account on libravatar.org. If that's not working for you, it might be a bug in libravatar's setup, or you might not have verified the e-mail associated by responding to the e-mail they sent you. My address works, and it works because I'm using libravatar, not a federated server: $ perl -MLibravatar::URL -e 'print libravatar_url(email => q([email protected]))' http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/ef9dddd859f1f5a1fd6442a1ccf872ef display <(GET $( perl -MLibravatar::URL -e 'print libravatar_url(email => q([email protected]))')) Now, I suppose I could also fall farther back onto gravatar instead of just libravatar, but I just figured that setting up an account on libravatar was easy enough that I didn't need to bother. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. -- Robert Heinlein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
