11 years ago Easier would be to just have a separate input for your email address in the profile tab. That should automatically check for a Gravatar, which can be overridden manually by using the image input.
That would also help when you want to invite friends using the email feature in the friends tab – you could just get a notification that this person already is on friendsunhosted, and then add them.

11 years ago Yes, though there are privacy issues with storing email-addresses so we don't want to do that as long as the whole profile is public. I was shooting for a simple way to get the image-URL in case you want to use gravatar without opening a can of privacy worms.
Though it is simple enough to split the profile in a private and public part I thought we don't need to store the email just yet. (doesn't the "this person is already on unhosted" trip on the email privacy issue too?)
The new profile picture is really cool!
It would be even cooler if F#Un would offer to convert your email-adress to a gravatar image. You still don't have to store the email-address for that, just use it as input to calculate the gravatar hash. right now it was a bit cumbersome to sign in to gravatar just to get the image-link. And lots of non-developers probably don't even think about the possibility of using gravatar.
