   Right now, the plugin isn't checking to see whether the blog allows avatars, only whether this version of wordpress supports them. It ought to check both -- it's misleading for the avatar to be shown in the preview when it won't be in the posted comment.

   I think if (!empty(get_option('show_avatars'))) is the right code for that option -- or, Otto says get_avatar() has that check built in -- but my brief attempts to make it work have resulted in disaster.

   Got it to work. Here are the changes, if you'd like to incorporate them:

   line 35:
   

   // Customize this string if you want to modify the preview output
   	// %1 - author's name (as hyperlink if available)
   	// %2 - comment text
   	// %3 - gravatar image url
   	$previewFormat = '
   		<ol class="commentlist" style="clear: both; margin-top: 3em;">
   			<li id="comment-preview" class="alt" style="overflow: hidden;">';
   	if (get_option('show_avatars') != '0')
   		$previewFormat .= '<img src="%3" alt="" class="avatar avatar-' . $gravatar_size . '" width="' . $gravatar_size . '" height="' . $gravatar_size . '"/>';
   	$previewFormat .= '<cite>%1</cite> Says:
   				<br />
   				%2
   			</li>
   		</ol>';

   around line 200:

   if (get_option('show_avatars') != '0') $previewFormat = str_replace("%3", "' + gravatar + '", $previewFormat);

   n/m, that worked in testing but removed the comment text in production.

   get_avatar does have the check built in. Look at the code in the default theme:
   <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?>

   That's all it takes in a theme.

   Live Comment Preview, on the other hand, is *live*. It's generated via some other means, not via the PHP code.

   I know. I just can't seem to make it work. For now I've disabled the avatar in the CSS: #comment-preview img.avatar { display: none; }
