How to use the jrGravatar module to provide a default profile image?
Using Jamroom
The workaroud I have been using has been working perfectly- the difference between here and Ning is here YOU CAN go into a members profile and make changes INCLUDING profile AND account images..
Coming here from Ning I had over 17,000 pics uploaded-in my terms of service I state that "you understyand and agree that material you upload here may be used to promote this website"...
Anyway I go through those 17,000 photos and pic those that would make great generic profile photos for my website...choose maybe 100- bulk edit them in photoshop so they are resized to a small KB size file- then save them to a folder on my desktop called "New Profile Photos"
Now when someone joins I automatically have a look at their profile/user name and email to deem everything appropiate...then if their is a graviar image I quickly replace with with on of my own...takes maybe less than 30 seconds per profile AND realy makes the members page of the site look GREAT
I am happy with this work around
