   I noticed when I change the Default Avatar under the "settings" - discussion tab to something different then the roam2rome standard ( comment )

   It shows that I have adjusted it in the dashboard page, but it doesnt show up in the comments box.

   Also when I added the profile-pic plugin.. I Can see those pictures in the dashboard ( admin area ) but I cant see them in the comments area.

   I think something in the comments php is keeping the default avatar from being over-rided to another avatar. and im lookin for code or some wya to fix this problem

   zukny,
   This points to your theme not being compatible with avatar/gravatar. Have you testing this using the default theme?

   agh! your right, I just switched to the default theme..... They came up fine!..

   This isnt the only flaw I have found in my theme, its actually starting to get annoying. If i Just knew Php / html i could fix my problems

   Here is info about adding support for Avatars.

   Is there a reason why you don't get a them that is compatible with the version of WordPress you are using?

   You could use the above url to change the code; I found it easier to change themes! ;-)

   Good luck!

   hey thanks for the linkk, i ll look through it now , and hopefully i ll figure it out! i ll let you know how it goes.

   supposedly the person that created the theme is working on the new version right now. its the Coffee Desk theme.

   I am sticking with the theme, because it really really works well with my idea.

   Hey, Just getting back to you. I tried, I failed! lol.

   The complex thing, is my gravatar is working, but it wont recognize the (profile-pic) plugin, nor will it recognize the (gravatar-monster) option in the settings - discussions folder.

   its complex.. but i think the problem is here in my comments area

   <?php
   $email = $comment->comment_author_email;
   $default = "http://roam2rome.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/avtar11.gif"; // size in pixels squared
   $rating = "PG"; // [G | PG | R | X]
   $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=
   " . md5($email) . "&default=" . urlencode($default) . "&size=" . $size."&rating=".$rating;
   ?>

   <div class="comment_user<?php echo $commentalt; ?>">
   <div class="user_avatar"><img src="<?=$grav_url ?>" height="<?=$size ?>" width="<?=$size ?>" alt="User Gravatar" /></div>
   <div class="user_infos"

   ashame i dont have an understanding of php.. nor do i understand why im using an image on someone elses server as my default.. but hey

   Has anyone figured out how to show the avatar/gravatar on the Coffee Desk theme yet?
   I have seen a lot of people using the theme, but no one seems to have figured it out. I will gladly show anyone my Html/php if they have some time to help me.

   Everything shows up well in the dash and on my forum plugin, just not the comments area.

    oh boy I have tried everything now but I can't get the gravatar to show in the tab above for my wordpress site. I've installed all the plugins. gravatar.com and checked the e-mail address and put in the php code in the 404 but still, all I see on the tab is the blank little page. Can someone help me? I have also read and re-read the gravatar page where they show the code to use but I can't understand it :0(

    in the tab above? Are you referring to the tabs in your browser?

    That's not a gravatar, or avatar or anything like that....

    its called a favicon....I'd like to make sure I know what you are talking about before typing how to use them, but you can google or search here for favicon too.....
