Avatar picture not showing in Comments
-
My avatar picture is not showing up in comments that I’ve posted. Actually, sometimes it shows in certain posts and sometimes it doesn’t show. Even on the same blog and the comments were posted on the same day. Any idea why? Please help! Thank you.

Firstly avatars do not display on posts regardless of the statement made on this page -> Your Profile. They display only on the wordpress.com tcategory/tag pages, on comments left on your own blog when signed in and on comments left on other wordpress.com blogs when signed in and, here on posts made in the forum.
Secondly, there is a time delay for display after uploading n avatar for the first time and after changing an avatar. When did you change your avatar?
Thirdly, were you signed in to wordpress.com when you left the comment?
They will only display on wordpress.com blogs and if you weren’t when you left the comment then it won’t display.Lastly, note also that avatar display is not retroactive. The comments you left prior to having an avatar will not display the avatar.

“Were you signed in to wordpress.com when you left the comment?”
“The comments you left prior to having an avatar will not display the avatar.”Oh, one of these 2 reason this must be it! I’ll try to post a few more comments and if it doesn’t work, I’ll come back. Thanks for the prompt reply. :)

“…there is a time delay for display after uploading n avatar for the first time and after changing an avatar…”Question- How much time are we talking about? Hours, days, weeks?

It’s usually hours, not days… I know mine took about 6 hours when I changed it. They tend to show up in the forums before they appear in comments on blogs; I can see an avatar in your above post, so I think you probably just need to give it a little more time and you should be fine. If you change it again, you’re welcome to test it in this thread to see when it comes through.

@deltadelta
You blow my mind. The post directly above yours directed you to this thread for testing your avatar https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=8515
However, you ignored it and posted into this thread instead.
Tip: Reading the threads you post makes sense – not reading doesn’t … lol :D -
Staff has posted that they believe the avatar problem is fixed. Go here for details.

My “democracy tank” avatar shows up on my own blog’s comment section, but today it suddenly disappeared from the TopPosts section of WordPress.com. Yesterday everything worked fine. Is this a known bug? Or just a time problem which may fix itself after a while?

Do you mean the avatars that appear next to posts on the tag pages and on the WP.com front page? Those should be exactly the same as your avatar everywhere else.
Had you changed your avatar at all? Sometimes if you’ve changed it, the changes won’t show up until you’ve made a new post. Also you could try clearing your browser cache in case it was just reloading the same file.
Or do you mean there was no avatar at all, was just blank? I’m just trying to picture what you mean; I’ve never heard of a discrepancy like that, not when we can see the avatar on blogs and in the forums just fine.

@ cjwriter
I didn’t touch it for weeks and it worked fine until yesterday. I also didn’t upload anything else for quite a while. The funny thing is I even see it here on this forum page. Only on the Top Posts page it’s missing. There is just a blank space. Or can you see it? It’s entry No. 4:

AAaaahh!!! Forget it! Sorry. It was my mistake. I posted with another user account. Stupid me! Hope I didn’t cause you too much trouble.

Hm, well I see a tank avatar for No. 2 – is that yours? Maybe you just got a few more hits and raised it up a bit. :) It should be to this post? http://nbfs.wordpress.com/2007/10/16/marcel-dreht-am-rad-der-geschichte/
I definitely see the avatar, so I’m thinking it could well be a browser thing. Are you using Firefox, IE, Safari? Maybe try to clear your cache and have a look in another browser… other than that, I have no idea why you’d see it here but not there. Maybe someone else has an idea?
-
Ah no worries. I guess that makes sense. No trouble – I just wish I could see if there’s a new post while I’m typing before I hit reply! Happy blogging. :)

I also had a similar avatar problem but it seems to be fixed now so I’ll share it maybe it can help others…
My problems were avatar not showing up in Comments on other blogs and I wasnt automatically logged in there, my comments history wasn’t showing up at all in my Dashboard and I couldnt log in WP.com forum no matter what I did (even though I was logged in Dashboard).
I allowed all cookies in my browser but It turned out to be a cookie setting in my firewall > Block 3rd party cookies
I turned it off and it all works fine now :)

I am having a similar problem. I have uploaded an image for my avatar, and it works on the “Test your Avatar” thread, but does not appear when I make comments in my own blog…

@TT:
not so, please check the post here:

avatars won’t show up retroactively. Also, avatars take a little while to propagate through the system. Wait a little while :-)
