[Solved] My Gravatar does not appear
-
Yes, just noticed that it works now. Someone must have done something, because to have it chached over days is not common.
Thanks for informing me :-)
[quote author="mariusg" date="1322560280"]Looks like this got sorted, did you figure out something or did gravatar just need some time to work?[/quote]
-
Interresting is, that i can see it in my profile, but not besides my forum posts.
[quote author="Volker" date="1322568357"]I still do not see a gravatar, neither on walteste's profile page nor besides his/her forum posts. Neither on Chrome, nor on Safari, nor on Camino. Looks like there's still something going wrong.[/quote]

As far i can see the situation remains the same as Volker mentions.
It has nothing to do with clearing your cache. I tested it on a freshly installed ubuntu. IMO the problem must reside on the gravatar server. When i look there and do the check, my new gravatar is active, but on other web sites not (not only devnet).

Hi Volker, yes, i rated it as G and when i use the check link, then i can see it 4 times correctly.

Did you edit the rating of the gravatar to unlimited?EDIT:
Did you try http://gravatar.com/site/check with the email used here on DevNet?[/quote] -

But 7 days is quite long for an image to appear :-)
[quote author="Volker" date="1322682965"]@Stefan: Hooray! Here it is! :-)[/quote][/quote]
Nothing visible here... has it vanished again?
-
[quote author="Stefan Walter" date="1322722359"]Yes, it disappeared again. That is spooky![/quote]
-No, it's here!-
EDIT:
The situation is more complex:The gravatar is shown when calling the SSL secured linke at
https://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/11967/
gravatar URL is
https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=93fe6eb03daa9f497e9f8ff0b1fae5d4&size=48&default=https://developer.qt.nokia.com/images/qtdn/gravatar_empty.pngThe gravatar is missing when calling the standard HTTP without SSL at
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/11967/
gravatar URL is
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=93fe6eb03daa9f497e9f8ff0b1fae5d4&size=48&default=http://developer.qt.nokia.com/images/qtdn/gravatar_empty.pngI suspect a problem with gravatar's site, as they return a wrong response on the non-SSL URL. Maybe some caching issue on their side?

I confirm.
What a curious case...
-
Volker you are completely right (as usual ;) ! Thanks!
It's the https thingy
I also noticed that when you start from a https page and use a link from there, it stays always right.
So as a workaround I changed my bookmark in my browser and added the s to http and from now on the avatars are correct.So no more
http://developer.qt.nokia.com
But use
https://developer.qt.nokia.com
As a starting bookmarkThanks again.
[edit : unfortunately not all links work using https. Eg. When you click on the moderator badge you get http again, pity]
-
I sent the following to the gravatar moderators.
bq. I don't know where to report bugs and hope someone will pick it up here.
But we encountered a problem on our forum have a look at that page which explains problems when using http instead of https. The problem occurs both when someone makes a new gravatar and also when one changes an existing one.I hope they pick it up.

You need to force the image to refresh; some browsers keep images in cache as long as a month. The actual Gravatar url doesn’t change, so it might take some time before browser retries downloading of the picture.
I note thought that Gravatar has some issues too; simply forcing it to render the picture is few different sizes and letting it be safe and messing with the service makes it appear faster. I had fun time setting my avatar, now it’s visible everywhere... But I guess that’s purpose of Gravatar ;)

It is NOT a browser cache problem. You can easily check by running the query on a command line tool like curl. The output is
- About to connect() to www.gravatar.com port 80 (#0)
- Trying 93.184.220.20... connected
