[Bug 792996] Re: If Gravatar is enabled, the "no default" profile picture means "choose Gravatar"

 

Hi Francois,

Your proposal would be fine for me as long as it is clear. Changes in
the wording sounds good. I'd be happy to take a look at that once we the
dev work is done. A quick fix could be to include a line whether
Gravatar is enabled or not (without showing the actual Gravatar image).

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?
