As you already have an avatar displaying here perhaps you should re-state you avatar question because I’m not sure what you are really asking at all.

Avatars are displayed on comments you make on other wordpress bloggers blogs and in the comments you make in the forum. They are not displayed on your posts or your pages in your blog. Avatars and themes are not connected and there is no “gallery” of wp avatars to choose from. You supply your own. Regardless of the theme you use, you upload avatar here -> Dashboard -> Users -> Your Profile.

It’s just the way the theme’s coded — they obviously didn’t bother adding avatars when the theme was ported to wordpress.com. There’s nothing you can do at your end so your best bet is probably to send a feedback asking for it to be fixed.

There is a time delay on avatar display. I see it now. It’s a woman with long dark hair wearing a red strapless gold trimmed top.

Still no avatars.

Maybe the WP.com guys can add this in the update?

I believe that as the Sandbox theme does not accommodate avatars at all this request could be sent to staff via a feedback or posted in the ideas forum.

there’s a new release of sandbox in the works. scott’s aware of the issue, but ultimately it’s something the staff here will have to update.
like TT says, please send in feedback if you haven’t already.

I was also wondering about that. The sandbox theme does not show avatars. A new release is in the works huh? Is this going to be made available to wordpress.com users anytime in the near future, I wonder?

Anyone wonder if Brent will actually read the post directly above his and follow the suggestion within it?

@kathywms
Hi this is the support forum and you don’t have a blog that I can see in the Sandbox theme. So what exactly are you testing?

Sorry.. I thought it was a “sandbox” to test avatars. I didn’t realize it meant Sandbox theme!

No problem. Your avatar is showing up fine here. It may take a little time to show up on comments you leave on blogs and on the wordpress.com tag pages. Happy blogging. :)

Um, yeah, this was a direct response to that post directly above mine

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Thanks for answering my question. Jeez!

I sent feedback, but I got no response for the last month. I wasn’t asking you specifically Dr. Mike. I wondered if anyone else had anything more to add to what has already been said. Apparently not.

No offense, but you can come off as being a bit unfriendly at times. It doesn’t bother me, but I thought I’d point that out since you took the time to insult me.

Thanks.

Ask something they don’t like, and you’ll get de-listed.

“we believe strongly in the freedom to publish”

Yeah, not.
