  I’ve changed my gravatar in my profile, but the old pic keeps showing on my blog. I tried removing the old widget and adding it back in with new settings, but it doesn’t seem to change.

  The old one is a cake; the new one’s a fifties era couple.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The gravatar takes some time to propagate through the entire wordpress system and the first place the new one will show up is here in the forum – which it is.

  Give it a little time and it will change. Also, try clearing your browser cache before looking as some browsers hang on to cached files with a vengeance.

  By the way I’m seeing the new gravatar on the blog linked to your username.

  Thanks, sometimes the simplist things make the biggest difference. It was my browser.

  I am unable to change my gravatar. It is of an old event that is no longer relevent. I cant even reach an upload screen?

  I updated my profile this morning and my gravatar went away. When I try to put it back, I get a blank screen.

  Hope someone is still following this thread. I just removed my gravatar image and tried to upload a new one. The old one is gone, so that is cool. Uploading the new one however doesn’t seem to work. I don’t get connected to an upload screen. Just a screen that says “Please close this window if it does not close automatically.” Sounds much like the comment posted by shawnellen on aug.4. To me it sounds like something that might need to be fixed server side but what do I know…

  Nothing much to see about this problem on my blog, but you are very welcome to visit! overkokend.wordpress.com/

  The instructions are in the sticky thread at the very top of the forums called “8 Things to Know Before Posting in the WordPress.com Forums”

  @fornuis: Yes, it’s something that needs to be fixed. You can upload your avatar directly at http://en.gravatar.com/ .
