Blowfeld you mean on other sites? What's an example of another page where your avatar appears properly?

Scrax what does your avatar look there? And, can you get me the image link they use so I can see?

The problem is that Gravatar caches images on their servers for an undefined period of time. This is the link your Gravatar shows as on MOBAFire:

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b48af510f3b2557c2e469744b27e103.jpg?s=128&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobafire.com%2Fimages%2Fnoavatar.png

If you try the same URL, tweaked slightly, they cache it differently and you get the fresh version:

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b48af510f3b2557c2e469744b27e103.jpg?s=128&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobafire.com%2Fimages%2Fnoavatar.png&t=12345

Because they didn't cache that on their servers until just now. I suppose a fix would be for me to add a random time stamp on the end of every Gravatar URL but, I have a feeling they would not appreciate it and possibly block us as a result.

It's extremely frustrating that they don't clear their caches when you upload a new image. It is baffling that they wouldn't do that.

Yes, your fix works. That's what I use on Battlelog.
