Re Gravatar
5 Answers
Hi busy site running folks, sorry to bother you.
I think Gravatar are dodgy, is there an alternative image storing site AB could use (eg. photobucket).
It seems as though Gravatar store images and upload them automatically in any other Gravatar enabled site/forum a user might join - even if they've previously deleted the image/s.
They also refuse to close accounts.

The golden rule (to avoid spam among other things) is always to create a new email address when signing up to new websites (or when purchasing something from a new vendor online). I know that I've used well over 100 email addresses so far (and it's probably nearer to 300), although only 5 are currently 'active'. Using the same email address for two different sites is simply asking for problems.
