You are welcome, feel free to use it.
And yes, the old way was easy to use.

Anyways, this way isn't hard you feel it is hard because I added much information and steps but it is easy to use.

Did you use the same email you registered with it on HF on gravatar?

You also have to wait a little amount of time till it load.

Also.. I don't think non-upgraded members can use custom avatars.

Yeah that's true, and thank you for your feedback. 🤝
Nicely written tutorial, maybe now we will see less people using the default avatars.

Thanks for your community support, -Correct.
Err, friend of mine already wrote a tutorial on this a month or more ago.

GJ though.
Nice tutorial, thanks. However, you still cant use full sized avatars. It forces you to crop images rather then using the original dimensions HF limited us too.
