I have registered with Gravatar.com and followed all the steps. My picture is showing on there .

Is your email addy the same on there and here, and have you marked your avatar as a 'G' rating?

Buenchico

You've quite possibly done nothing wrong; Gravatar isn't exactly the most reliable of websites!

However, assuming that you already had your own avatar, the most likely error is failing to assign a 'G' rating to the new one.

Oh, I didn't see your second post.

If you've only just registered with Gravatar (rather than just changing from an existing avatar) then there are additional things which could have gone wrong.

Firstly, as Craft suggests, you might have used a different email address to the one you used when you joined AB. (It MUST be the same address).

Secondly, you might have forgotten to activate your avatar (via 'My Profile').

After correcting either of those errors, you should know that (as well as the delays built into Gravatar's site), AB's server only seems to update avatars 'on the hour'.

I agree with Buenchico. The most common issues in these cases is using a different email address, not having a G rated avatar and checking the box and pressing the submit button on the My Profile

I did have a different e-mail address which I didn't realise at the time but I have amended that. I pressed the G rating but it still hasn't happened
