I was wary about using Gravatar to upload a profile picture to the recipe side of ELR which is why I don’t have one. I don’t understand why we can’t just upload our profile picture the same way as we do on the forum side, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks for the heads up mate, I’m glad I didn’t bother now.

Hehe, I SHARE your feelings on that @Lucas_James_Holden. The Gravatar site, appears to be WordPress based, so GO FIGURE. The funny thing is, for as “universal” as Gravatar claims to be, the ONLY place I use it, is here on the ELR mixing side.

You’re welcome mate. It’s safe enough. Use a throw away email account with a generated password, you’ll be fine, BUT, the laugh continues.

I’m not going to go to the trouble of setting up an email account with my provider and then mess with my iPad settings just for one little profile picture to show on my recipe account so I’m leaving it as is.
