I am as puzzled as you… especially since no one else is having same issue…  as you could see in your test, gravatar.com is not returning an avatar in that case…

Yes it is very wierd, May i ask what rating setting you use on this forum ? then i will test maybe it is gravatar response problem.

Hmm

Could it be a forum issue ??

Since now i have activated PG gravatar here, and it does not show my gravatar, but if i activate another G gravatar it will show.

gravatar5@exnet.dk = Rating G “works”

gravatar4@exnet.dk = Rating PG “Not Working”

guess it could be an unreported or known issue… struggling with why gravatar.com is not returning an image…  the url sent to them seems correct and used as url itself, returns the image…

out of time this weekend, myself… have asked Andy to take a look tomorrow and see if he can see what I am missing…

Am investigating…. I can see the issue. I might have to talk to the gravatar support folk but they are closed until 25th February…

There is no update listed on the wordpress update page, and i cannot find any update function within the forum options.

Are you not being offered an update to the latest version in the WordPress updater? That is where you should find it…

No no update for the forum plugin is showing.

Steve will correct me if I am wrong but I do believe that the check is made periodically so maybe it has not performed that lookup yet. Or – maybe your CRON tasks are not working if that is the method it uses…

The alternative, of course, is to download the latest from our downloads page and then manually ftp it up to your site. Same end result just a little slower.

But as to the original question we certainly have successfully been using X rated gravatars in all of our test cases with that updated version.

When manually uploading, should i overwrite all exiting files or only newer files ?

Would automatic update Overwrite all files or only newer / changed files specified in update ?
