   I wrote a simple plugin for Gravatar. I am planning to put files on Extend, but I am still waiting. You can download it from Google Code for now, please visit this plugin's homepage. You can find a download link and know how to modify your theme in the page.

   It is relatively simple:

   • Gravatar Email field - This plugin doesn't use user's registered email.
   • Email Verification - Users need to own the Gravatar Emails which they input.
   • Support Default Image
   • Size customized (1..80px)

   I hope I can hear your thoughts about this plugin.

   Nice job!

   That's a strange feature to use an email address that the person didn't use to register but you made it work so I guess you made it work.

   Remember that gravatars are going to be allowed up to 128x128 soon (so says Matt).

   Aha... I just realized that I didn't know users can change their registered email. (I use a Key Master to edit normal user's profile...)

   I should remove this Gravatar Email field to make code simpler and add another field Use Gravatar?. Maybe add some other features as well.

   I am also waiting Gravatar to allow larger avatar. Once it allow, I will put a new version out.

   Oops...

   I changed my mind. bbPress doesn't check the validity of new email address and confirm the user really own that new email address.

   I wish I would have seen this earlier. :) I just hacked in gravatar support by using the wordpress plugin. Since I didn't see any listed in the extensions section I went ahead and applied to have mine added. I will go ahead and delete mine since their is really no point in having two.

   If you have any use for the code I used let me know I can send it on.

   I think there is no need to delete yours. Your porting plugin should have more features than mine. I am too lazy, therefore my Gravatar plugin only has the functionalities that I need. However I will add a feature if someone asks and I agree that is a general need.

   Here is a link to mine: http://www.68kb.com/2007/10/25/bbpress-plugin-68-gravatars/

   From browsing your code mine is way way basic. :) Just one function and one call. Also mine only uses the posters registered email as well.
