    hi guys, i m using 2.7 but could not find the options for avatars in profile page.
    how can i upload and choose avatars?
    I found avatar settings under discussion but that only deals with display.
    help anyone?

    To use the default, you have to upload an avatar at gravatar.com

    However, the get_avatar function used by WordPress can be redefined to do whatever you want (it's "pluggable"), in case you want to use your own avatars or a service other than Gravatar's.

    There is no such plugin, nor do you need one.

    Just go to gravatar.com, sign up with your email, and upload your avatar there. It'll quickly show up on your own blog and every other WordPress blog, as well as other software packages.

    It's a universal avatar, linked to your email address.
