  • The best so far.

    There are more than a few so called avatar replacement plugins. But they all seem to want to keep the Gravatar functionality. I wanted to not have any connections to the Gravatar tracking system. The plugin does exactly that. No Gravatar, only local avatars. Thanks for the awesome plugin.
