Providing option to upload profile pic rather than use Gravatar

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

There were several threads regarding the same request. Since they are quite old, I thought i will start a new thread.

I think it would be great to have an option to upload our own profile picture rather than use Gravatar. Indiblogger team can decide on restrictions if necessary on the photo like max size, frequency of change etc as and per requirement.

What are my fellow indibloggers' opinions regarding the same?

I support this idea! And for users who would like to go with gravtaar, the option should be provided. A win-win situation for all! Smile

Were there any similar threads in the past? I can't recollect any! Innocent

This is a good idea.  There were few threads, but pretty old to revive.

I too feel the same Elizabeth... We should be able to upload our profile picture directly from IB edit profile page... Smile

True. Means of picture upload, as Ranjith and Anunoy da rightly pointed out, should be the choice of the IndiBlogger. IndiBlogger functioning independently would be great. Smile

As Ranjith suggested, the users can have both options. Either use gravatar or upload their own profile pictures. 

From my personal experience, I rarely come across situations where I need to use a gravatar profile.
