Just a little site housekeeping…….
I’ve just enabled Gravatars here at TS. What’s a gravatar, I hear some of you ask? It’s a fun little way of brightening up the comments section of the website.
How it works:
Go to gravatar.com and create your gravatar. It’s a very simple registration process and it only takes a minute or two. The gravatars to be shown here are restricted to ‘G’ and ‘PG’ ratings. Let’s keep it clean, people.
IMPORTANT: When you register and create your gravatar, be sure to use the same email address you use when you leave a comment. The software will look up your gravatar based on your email address and slot it in.
You can see a few examples in the image attached. Your gravatar should automatically show up at other Gravatar-enabled sites, too.
When you’re done, why not come back, leave a comment and see if it’s worked OK!!!
Testing..
another test.
It’s a grand idea.
Goodie
Cool. Testing.
Grrrrrravitar.
Just didn’t have anything else to say.
Testing, testing..
Hello, is this thing on ?!?
Eh?
I’m guessing there must be a default avatar…lets try this again..
Here we go. It was hard finding a nickname not in use.
I love the AeroX/UrSaab image, of which I have a poster. Also have the beautiful model cars of both, purchased from Elkparts, but this is the image I chose…hopefully.
Is it really “free”? I am always hesitant when having to supply my email address to a site I don’t know offering things for “free”.
Their privacy policy states the following so I guess there is no need to worry about getting on mailing lists. But still, I never trust “free”.
Gravatar.com collects your email address as part of the gravatar service. We will never rent, sell, or otherwise distribute or make public your email address. We hate spam as much as you do.

This is fun, thanx. Now I’m off to shrink all my Saab pictures.

Wulf, Gravatar.com is run by automattic, the people behind wordpress itself, so they’re pretty credible. They’d have a lot to lose by breaking that policy.
testy.
Testing, one two three
Introducing the griffin
Oups it doesn’t work for me .I must a made it wrong
Try again Jeff,
Working…?
Check out my kite.
Please work…..
Please work now…..
Please please work now…..
Yay sorry for the spam.
I use adblock in my browser. All I see is “No Gravatar” under each commenter’s name. Maybe because advage.com is blocked? Anyhow for me it
looks terrible.
Dan, why would you say my domain name is blocked, or has anything to do with it? From the screenshot you’ve attached, you are not displaying Gravatars for anyone.
This is a test.
Another test…. This is great! I still would like to see a forum-style of login, count of total posts and location of the member. Perhaps some time in the future.
This is my test
Wulf, you win for best gravatar at this point. Awesome!
And it’s not even a Saab related avatar! I didn’t draw it (obviously) but found it somewhere on my internet journeys and I can’t remember where. Thanks to the person who created this wolf.
Sorry it’s not just advage.com — it’s all the gravator images are blocked for me and all I see is “No Gravatar”. Weird.
Never did a popular thing, don’t even know how to sing, couldn’t sell out a telephone booth, what I’m telling you is the truth!
I reeeeeeeeeally wanted to use the Cadillac logo…but I decided not to.
Ok so let’s see now what happens
I hope this time will be the good time
After a few minutes
Yet another login to remember…
One of my favourite roads…
Awesome stuff!!
A different kind of Viggen
OOPS lets try this again!
Very cool, indeed!
Lets see if this one works…
Testing!!!

i give up
Is it just me or did all gravatars disappear? I don’t see them anymore.
We did an upgrade on the site overnight but it seems to have overwritten the gravatar plugin. I’ll re-load it tonight.
JWLanky, yours worked OK and will show up when I reinstall the plugin.
whooopii

Just trying to see if this works

I think YouTube should support Gravatars.

I downloaded a desktop image a few weeks ago from this website and have gotten a new computer since. I can’t seem to find the picture I am looking for again. It was the yellow convertible in the snow with sunflowers. Could someone let me know where exactly I need to go?
