If you visit here regularly you will know that this was a gravatar-enabled site. I noticed about three days ago that the gravatars weren’t appearing but put it down to the Gravatar site being temporarily down however when they still weren’t appearing last night I decided to investigate.

If you Google for the Gravatar site then click on one of the links you will be told that it doesn’t exist. I then found a short on Phu Ly’s site which explained that the Gravatar site hadn’t been re-registered and it also appears that the man-in-charge is on holiday.

Phu has detailed a work-around for the problem but I have to say that I have never been over-keen on thebombsite.com relying on third-party sites so I have removed them instead. Sorry, but they probably won’t be returning to this site and I suspect a few others will think the same way.
