Avatars / profile-pictures
-
Hi,
I think its nice that BB uses Avatars, but since you have to goto a whole different site, sign-up for a user name (Which has to be unique) it can really take som time to get through that process. Especially finding a username which is unique.
Is it possible to make it more easy, just using a profile picture that you upload from your computer? Maybe even have an upload-profile picture box at the sign-up form so your picuture is already there when you login the first time?
Regards

Hi Burtadsit,
Your right, on the RC-1 I can upload an avatar during signup, I can also change it afterwards with a new image in my profile… Funny I didnt see that!
I guess it confused me a little that I was unable to change my avatar on the new buddypress.org layout without going to gravatar.com. (Not like RC-1)
It says:
Your avatar will be used on your profile and throughout the site.
Avatars on BuddyPress are controlled by the globally recognized avatar system (Gravatar). To change or create a new avatar for your account, please login or signup at: http://gravatar.com.
If you are signing up for a new Gravatar account, make sure you use the same email address that is registered with your WordPress.org account.

So I would have to goto gravatar.com and upload a new avatar instead of just uploading it on the buddypress site. I guess the avatars on the new layout is all controlled by gravatar.com.
I have a Gravatar account with me photograph, but for the heck of me I don’t know how to put it here
