OSNews is Exploring the Future of Computing

Linked by Adam S on Thu 8th Oct 2009 18:56 UTC

OSnews is in the process of converting our self-hosted avatars to Gravatar.com, a global recognized avatar service hosted by Automattic, the team behind Wordpress publishing platform and Wordpress.com. Effective immediately, we've disallowed uploads of new OSnews avatars. Please consider registering a gravatar to use a personalized account picture on OSnews.com.

Could OSnews _please_ remove the statement "OSNews does not share this address with any third party and does not display it publically" from the preferences page? It's not true anymore, after all.

The message is still there. And when I tried to remove my e-mail address from the preferences pages, I wasn't allowed to. I had to change it to the simpler workaround, "no@no.no".

(On a less serious note, I guess this is my avatar from here on out...)
