Is it by design that Allura uses my @users.sf.net email address when fetching a gravatar, and sfpy uses the address I set in https://sourceforge.net/account/ ?
This means in the "me" user widget at the top right of the page I see different avatars when visiting 'https://sourceforge.net/' and 'https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/'. Also, if I open the "me" menu, I see different avatars next to the "Profile" link yet both link to "https://sourceforge.net/users/MY_USERNAME";. --- ** [tickets:#2868] Incorrect gravatar used on user page [21867]** **Status:** open **Labels:** support p3 **Created:** Tue Sep 27, 2011 01:55 PM UTC by Chris Tsai **Last Updated:** Wed Sep 26, 2012 06:23 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/21867 >On the user page https://sourceforge.net/users/pander is a gravatar used that >is resolved on the private email address from the user. >Since the private email address or at least its gravater is not publicly >associated with the sourceforge user account, this gravatar should not be >shown at all.
