  Some Gravitar issues can be solved by clearing your browser cache and restarting. Barring that, you might look into is this statement from the Gravitar information page:

  “If your Gravatar is set but not showing up on blog pages, it may be because the image rating is too high. You can check and change image ratings on gravatar.com.”

  Not entirely sure what the Rating means here, but is definitely a good place to start. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you and we’ll look at it further!

  Not a problem! Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with Gravatar on either of the email addresses I use it with.

  Can you try just uploading a small image that is different to see if it shows up properly? Maybe a small picture of a cat or something, so it cannot possibly be construed as something R rated.

  It looks like the majority of problems people have with Gravatar is that it gets rated higher than it actually is. Designsimply’s post on this thread mentions the issue being the rating on the image, and that most places are configured to only show G rated images by default.
