  My Gravatars have been reversed – how can I change the emails to match the profiles – right now when I go to change either e-mail to the other I am told ‘that e-mail is already being used’.

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

  Set up a third (temporary, throwaway, but funtioning) email and transfer one gravatar. Then transfer the other to the first. Finally transfer the temporary email one to the second.

  Still not quite right – but getting there.
  I think I have to reverse the photos?

  Yes, it’s like one of those logic puzzles that always confuse me…

  Something like this:
  A. begin:
  email 1 <—> picture 1
  email 2 <—> picture 2
  email 3
  B. change:
  email 1 <—> transferred
  email 2 <—> picture 2
  email 3 <—> picture 1
  C. change:
  email 1 <—> picture 2
  email 2 <—> transferred
  email 3 <—> picture 1
  D. change:
  email 1 <—> picture 2
  email 2 <—> picture 1
  email 3 <—> transferred

  And I suppose it depends whether gravatar remembers that you’ve previously used an email address forever. I hope that is not the case.

  I keep forgetting my gmail password so I reset it but it won’t accept a previous password so I have to make a new one, which I don’t remember so I have to reset it, and of course I can’t remember it so…
