New gravatars should be live across the site. If you see something funky, please let me know.

Nice move, Gravatar is one of those great ideas that doesn't seem to get enough traction to become popular ;)

I would say it has traction now. Reason it took so long is because the service had some growing pains, but things are more or less stable and fast enough now.
