    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.

        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).

          @Stefan
          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?

              Hi Stefan,

              Obviously it took 7 days before my gravatar was updated and I see yours too now.

              So for anyone else in the same situation, just be patient ;)

                        -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.png

                        The 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.png

                        I 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?

                            Then we have to lean back and wait that they will fix it... Or should we address it somewhere?

                              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 bookmark

                              Thanks 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

                                      Okay, maybe it was another service where that was the problem, then...

                                        It seems that Gravatar stopped working on http, but is working on https.

                                        That can be solved by Gravatar (working again on http URLs) or by Nokia (changing avatar code for "gravatars" to look at secure Gravatar server by default).

                                        And in the mean time until somebody decides to correct it, we (users) can use https as default protocol. Not so bad (temporary) solution today with multi Mbps connections, I'm thankful that 14400 modems are long gone history ;)
