    I’m wondering how I can set up avatars for my contributors and authors for when they’re posting comments. I can see the “default avatar” option, but I can’t see an option anywhere in the settings to give us custom avatars

    Your contributors and authors could sign-up on the Gravatars site and then you could enable your theme to show Gravatars (if not already enabled).

    There is an explanation of Gravatars and how to use the get_avatar function in a WordPress theme in the Codex, here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Gravatars

    If Gravatars are not what you want, then I should think it would be worth your while searching the Plugins directory http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ for an alternative solution.

    Look at the FAQ for “Gravatars”

    You could always add an image to the profile section of WordPress using “cimy-user-extra-fields”, then you could display the author image in your comments if the user is an author/admin.

    I believe it’s something like this:
    <?php echo get_cimyFieldValue($author->ID, 'PHOTO'); ?>
