i’m running latest rel. of today .. the issue is there. also: the browser prob. would go away if the inserted stuff would be to https://gravatar.com, but the privacy issue would remain.
however, a quick grep for gravatar.com over all wp/bb reveals more places. i am a total wwp/bb/php idiot and have no aspirations to become even mildy involved with the codebase. i was looking for a on-place “checkbox solution”.
ah, ok;) it’s ok to have such commerically motivated “defaults” … in the end its a pretty impressing piece of tool and its nice to share anyway. on the other hand, it would be nice to have a big “this is a private site” switch which turns off this, and other things (like the dashboard fetching stuff from outside … i “disabled” that one using a firewall rule;)
thanks for helping … but I knew that one .. did that : hacked the BB PHP, which is of course far from ideal. Less about being able to, but I dont want to, since I need to maintain my hacks if I upgrade.
So you say there is nothing to “configure away” that misfeature without hacking? Does bb.org have business relations with gravatar.com?
