   How do I let the user choose between using a custom uploaded avatar, his Gravatar or Identicon??

   That's on my "to do" list as well.

   You can see I've attempted to give them that option in your profile section but the function does not work yet.

   Essentially you'd have to download their gravatar and insert it into the "Avatar Upload" file area. This would locally cache the gravatar.

   A quick, lazy way comes to mind where a shell exec could be done and a wget could pull down the image and place it into the avatar upload area in one step.

   This is a demo of the bbPress Signatures plugin!
   If you use my plugins, please considering donating to help continue their development.

   Yes, this would be a nice feature and I would love to use it in my website.

   I've now posted instructions and code to do the gravatar/indenticon/avatar switch on the bbpress.org Avatar Upload thread here:

   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1093

   Follow the few posts after that to add delete ability and the three way switch like you see on this site here (if you go into your profile).

   It will download their gravatar upon request and cache it locally so it's faster (and reliable).

   I registered to your forum to try this choice between avatar and gravatar, before trying to modificate the code. But I see that this discussion is "not resolved". Please, may you tell me if it works correctly or not?

   It works correctly now - you can literally try it here yourself in your profile...
