The thing I found a little jarring about this, is that if you are not registered for gosquared, it still can get a gravatar you have registered on gravatar. Despite me not being registered, entering my email, it is as if they already have information on me.
This could be a little daunting to someone who doesn't understand how this is happening.
- simontabor 14y agoPossibly, but you don't usually try to login before signing up... right?
- talmir 14y agoI did just now, just to see how they handled unregistered users.. I know what you mean tho :)
- morsch 14y agoI sometimes do that when I'm not sure whether I'm already signed up or not. Seeing my portrait (if I had a gravatar) would suggest to me that I did register an account. It's probably not an issue for a service like GoSquared though.
- envex 14y agoDon't you think if you've already signed up with gravatar you'd make the connection when your gravatar shows up?
- Newky 14y agoSomeones Gravatar could easily be a profile picture that they use in a lot of places no?
- simontabor 14y agoNope - you have to sign up and add a picture to Gravatar, it doesn't fetch it from other services/networks.
- Newky 14y agoWhat I mean is I may use the same picture for a number of services i.e Twitter, Facebook, and that same picture might also be my Gravatar. If I had added the Gravatar a while back, and had forgotten about it, it would look like the service had grabbed it from the other services. This is not a huge problem by any means, it just jarred me a little.
- thisisblurry 14y agoTo be fair though, your potential forgetfulness wouldn't be their fault. Sadly, I do see how it could be misconstrued though.
- taytus 14y agoWe fixed this issue giving the option to change your avatar from your CP.
- pfraze 14y agoThey might put a line underneath it saying, "Image provided by Gravatar"
