Thanks everyone. I figured it out myself – turns out i was confused because i had a wordpress.ORG account, but Gravatar requires a wordpress.COM account :\

For some reason this was resulting in weird redirects when i tried to get a Gravatar account. This whole thing has been more or less resolved now, aside from the fact that i had to use a different username at wp.com – kind of weird needing separate accounts and not being able to use the same username between them. But oh well.

Sorry for being vague before. I didn’t think this forum was the right place to get help with account-related issues, but i couldn’t find any “site help” links or the like, so i was just hoping someone would point me in the right direction and not be too annoyed that i had posted in the wrong place. I didn’t include all the details because it was pretty convoluted and i didn’t want to waste anyone’s time when i thought the question i was really asking was “where do i get help with my account”. Not a great strategy, apparently – my bad.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks. I still don’t see anything related to how to get help with my account on this support forum. That’s the point i feel like i’m not getting across, i do not see a subforum for questions related to this website, buddypress.org.

Ok. The problem i’m having is that i would like to change my avatar. But when i try to, i am told i have to create a Gravatar account. When i try to do this, i run into a bunch of problems. The reason i didn’t start out by describing my problem in more detail is because i don’t see a place to post this kind of inquiry. This is not about BuddyPress, this is about my accounts at buddypress.org, trying to understand how this relates to my account at wordpress.org, and how this all relates to Gravatar.

I’m looking for help with this website, not with the software. I was trying to NOT post my question in an inappropriate place. If there is an appropriate place to post this kind of question, all i am asking is where that is.

Thank you.

Thanks, but i might not have made sense. What i mean is i’m having trouble with my account on this forum on buddypress.org, and i don’t see an obvious way to get help with it. If no one knows the answer to that, we can let this topic die quietly, it doesn’t have anything to do with BuddyPress the software. I’ll figure out what i screwed up when i have a little more time to mess with it.

Maybe this is better suited for Miscellaneous?
