CF Update: Avatars in Comments

Written by Zephyr - CF Editor 17 Comments

You may have noticed that the comments section looks a little different today.. that’s because a few things have changed! Here’s some more info on the new functionality.

The biggest change is that you can now choose a custom picture to display next to every comment you make – a picture of you, a photo of your favorite celeb or designer, whatever you want! This will help identify you and your comments here.

To choose your personal avatar, visit Gravatar.com and sign up (all you need is an email address).

Once you upload your picture to Gravatar or choose from one of their pictures, your avatar will show up next to your comments on CF as well as on any other site that has Gravatars enabled. To change your profile picture, just visit the Gravatar website again and update your profile with a new avatar.

If you have any questions or problems getting your avatar to work, just leave a comment and I’ll try to help! Can’t wait to see your new profile pics..

Does it randomly generate one for those of us who don’t sign up?

Camsjarrin & Valeria – It’s okay, it’s not for everyone and you don’t have to participate if you don’t want to! People who comment the most will get the most benefit out of it. It’s just a fun feature for people who comment here a lot & it’s no big deal if you aren’t into it.
Jennifer – Yup, you don’t have to do anything & you’ll still have a randomly generated avatar if you don’t feel like signing up.
