bbPress is linked into Gravatar. You have to get a Gravatar account, and then go into Settings in the bbPress admin. At the very bottom is a checkbox for enabling Gravatars. Click that and you should start to see avatars on the forum.
If you don’t like the “mystery man” no Gravatar picture, I’d recommend trying the bbPress Avatars plugin, which will let you integrate avatar generation scripts.
Thanks, I’ll check out the avatars plugin.

can somebody answer Vadis question here? i have the same problem
Shagalaga,
The answer up I gave in this thread is the answer to Vadi’s question on the bbPress Avatars plugin. That plugin generates a random avatar for users with no Gravatar. Once you have a Gravatar account, you can change your avatar whenever you like.
