  Thanks. I’ve found that the Gravatar shows up a lot quicker after emptying cache and cookies!

  Yes, clearing your browser cache and cookies is particularly important with some browsers (IE in particular) as some hang on to – and use – cached images much longer than others.

  Google Chrome for me was by far the stubbornest. It’s time to relocate!

  Two words: Firefox, Safari.

  Seconded.

  For me, Safari would get the top nod – Mac or Windows – with FF coming in second. I use Safari for virtually all my browsing and such, and only open FF when I need to run the Firebug or Web Developer add-ons.
