Re: surprising avatar behavior
Similar strange problems with avatars (with 1.1 and 2.8.4a). Sometimes uploading a new avatar just keeps the old one, sometimes it takes the new one for the large size and the old one for the small thumbnail. More often it just crashes the browser (firefox or safari).
Very strange. A full (or simple) explanation of how these avatars work would probably help to troubleshoot.
Or is there a way to just use gravatars instead?
