      Have never tried that. I've heard of people having it work, though. I would recommend Gravatar, though, just because it adds to the overall speed due to their extensive CDN.

      Using Gravatar is not the point. The platform offers the choice, but it does not work. That is the point.

        The choice you have when you don't have a choice... like "an offer you can't refuse" 😛

          I believe that is referred to as an ultimatum.

                I know, we want a way to disable it.

                  I've had the same image since I started. No plans on changing it either.
                  Back on topic, can you upload it to ML or does it go to imigur & link back?

                  It is ML directly, unlike the other uploads.

                      it also fails.

                        On a similar note, I can't even (literally) upload or change the default picture for my profile.

                          You should be able to use gravitar to change it still.

                            It is done via Gravatar. The latest update should have removed even the appearance of being able to upload one. The move to 0.7.0 finally gave the official "disable" option which we were hoping for.

                            Using Gravatar is a good idea in general, not just because it helps to keep the cost of running the community down, but because it speeds the site up and it can be leveraged by you wherever you go.
