I have followed everyone's advice. I went to the Gravatar site. I registered, got an email with a link to active my account, clicked on the link, got a further response that I was registered, went to my new account, yes they had me under my email,emptied my "cache", I chose a picture, gave it a G rating, and confirmed my photo and email together. Now I have waited for days to let it take effect. I have gone back to the website and it shows my pic and correct email and offers another email address if I want to. I don't know what else I can do. I know I used the right email account since I saved the email from Simon (Jwn) confirming my addition to the board.
I am frustrated. Anything I have forgotten that could cause this problem?
