@scottalanmiller negative - any suggested steps?
Just go to gravatar.com and see if you have things set up correctly. If so, we'll add your name to the list.
my account on there has vanished, creating a new one from scratch. email addy isn't even registered.
Now that is super weird.
Not really this happened to me as well... I needed to create a new account.

@coliver I wonder why accounts would disappear, though.

Yup, that worked after a forced refresh.

I assume that yours was set up with Gravatar as your account was new enough that I assume that there was no other option? If you log into Gravatar, what does it show you?
-
I created a Gravatar account and mine is working fine now.

Trying to work on the Gravatar account now. Although the picture still shows that it is linked to my email and it is selected. I think I am missing something.

@JessWaterfordTech Several people are reporting accounts that just don't work. So it is very possible that you have everything correct and it just isn't working.

Too many accounts as it is, not going to bother with an Avatar

You realize the purpose of Gravatar is to consolidate accounts specifically? That's why I love it as an end user. Set it once and it takes care of nearly every site I am on.

Yeah it's not worth it. Enough stuff tracks us online as it is. Why give it over unless we want to?
-
Avoiding Gravatar doesn't change that. The info is the same either way. If you want to control the tracking you have to control the email address, not avoid Gravatar image hosting. The people having the panic about those things aren't thinking through the technical end of how these things work and are only hurting themselves while not realizing how much they are handing over to others. They are actually making their privacy worse, not better.

That's weird. Was your old one Gravatar?
Looks like my old one was uploaded here. So after the update it started using my Gravatar. I changed my Gravatar image to what I wanted it to be, now it isn't working.
-
You have an avatar a second ago, then it disappeared. Maybe it was my cache being funky.

Same. It was there and now it isn't.
