I'm not sure we need another option. I mean providing default images
instead of the "mystery person" is the whole point of enabling Gravatar.
Those who don't want their pictures to show up on various sites should
not have a Gravatar account.

However, I agree that the UI is confusing. Maybe what we need to do is
rephrase that "Use no default" button to something else. Remote avatars
or not, it's pretty confusing already.

Title:
  If Gravatar is enabled, the "no default" profile picture means "choose
  Gravatar"

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  You can choose not to have a profile picture in Mahara. However, when
  remote avatars are allowed and a user has one of those, it is
  displayed by default and cannot be changed to the anonymous picture.

  In my opinion, this is a bug. The Gravatar should be listed amongst
  the profile pictures as well and it should be possible to choose any
  of the 6 or none. At the moment it is not transparent that the
  Gravatar can actually be displayed as there is no mention of it on the
  Profile Pictures page. Only the site admin knows if gravatars are
  allowed or not.

  It would get even more complicated if Libravatar becomes possible:
  Which remote avatar takes precedence?
