I use this plugin for MyBlogLog avatars, but looking at the code it seems to be already setup for Gravatars as well! Maybe take a look at it!

You say this is bbpress code but after searching through every file I couldn't find any reference to avatar in any of the code. Where exactly is this block of code placed?

It works for me, just had to change your variable name $usermail because it's supposed to be $email - so the code looks like this:

function get_avatar() { global $bbdb; $id = get_post_author_id(); $user = bb_get_user( $id ); $email = $user->user_email; $default = "http://eastcoastwahines.com/images/gravatar.gif"; // Put your default avatar link $size = 40; $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($email)."&default=".urlencode($default)."&size=".$size; echo "<img src=\"$grav_url\" alt=\"Gravatar\" width=\"$size\" height=\"$size\" />"; }

No , there's a very simple way , simply use this url as the image url :
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=MD5

MD5 should be replaced by the md5 hash of the poster's email address .

Look at the "How the URL is constructed" section on http://gravatar.com/implement.php if you need more options like the size , rating ...

That's pretty cool, but the plugin is only available for WordPress. That means you'd have to call the wordpress tag within bbPress, and I dont load wordpress with my forum (way too complicated for what i need)

However, somebody could take the wordpress code and customize it for bbPress :)
