Site Changes

  Published by Bart on April 6th, 2008 in BlenderNation

Boring site update: we upgraded our WordPress installation to the latest version. If run into any weirdness (new weirdness, that is ;-) let us know!

Interesting site update: we now support Gravatars. To have your gravatar shown in your comments (see my comment below), sign up on Gravatar.com and create an account.

From Gravatar.com:

Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that's required is your email address. Once you've signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you'll start seeing it on gravatar enabled weblogs!

Gravatar.com is run by the same people who write WordPress, by the way.

Update: we accept gravatars with a rating up to 'PG':

PG rated gravatars contain may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, the lesser swear words, or mild violence.

    Gravatars are always good.

  13. 13 knekke Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

    yay

  14. 14 Bart Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pm

    If your gravatar doesn't show, there can be two causes:

    1. The gravatar.com service has a caching time of between 5 and 10 minutes. If you change your images, it can take a while before you see the change here.

    2. We accept gravatars with a rating up to 'PG':

    "PG rated gravatars contain may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, the lesser swear words, or mild violence."

  15. 15 bebraw Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm

  21. 21 markus Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    Sorry to misuse your blog for this, no need to answer, just maybe you can tell the guys
    in charge of the binaries this :) butcould there be a binary blender package for glibc
    2.5 or more recent?
    2.3.6 is really very old, on my systems it no longer works.
    (And i have trouble to compile blender from source too)

  22. 22 quiss42 Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 4:05 pm

    Test, test!

  23. 23 rexprime Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    this is cool… this also the first new avatar i have had in 4 years

  24. 24 Markus Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    markus send an email to bf-committers at blender org
    also see this http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/SundayMeetingAgenda/April_5th_2008
    looks like for OpenMP you need version 2.7; maybe this will help to make the change.

  37. 37 amoose136 Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 9:43 pm

    Oh…I got it.

  38. 38 Herohtar Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 10:44 pm

    I don't see any gravatars… apparently AdBlock eats them.

  39. 39 PapaSmurf Edit Link Apr 6th, 2008 at 11:31 pm

    Are the php upgrades causing some issues in Amsterdam? Or are you forgetting to feed the little critters and they are not turning the wheel? Or, did you use them in Peach, and now they're "too good" to spin the wheel?

  40. 40 ddwagnz Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 12:11 am

    @Tony - Yeah thats me alright, but! luckily for me its an old picture =P will have to put a recent one up maybe! or i'll just replace myself with a mancandy render =P

  41. 41 mfoxdogg Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 12:14 am

    alright lets try this thing

  42. 42 PapaSmurf Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 12:14 am

  43. 43 Omar Modesto Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 2:20 am

    Testing, testing…Soylent Green is people…

  44. 44 Heri Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 3:02 am

    Is it just me, or are these gravatars already looking annoying?

  45. 45 roofoo Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 3:03 am

    Aw crap, now I lose my anonymity!!

  46. 46 RedBirdiii Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 3:51 am

    I suggest that these avatars appear next to the nicknames here..
    They are far away from posts..

  47. 47 ethana2 Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 3:53 am

    Sweet.

  48. 48 TK-421 Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 4:57 am

    test

  49. 49 OneShotAl Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 5:46 am

    this is a test and only a test. had this been the real thing you would be drooling over my gravatar right now.

  50. 50 OneShotAl Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 6:45 am

    one for the road

  51. 51 zooley Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Cool, i have my avatar here too. :-)

  52. 52 Jos Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Testing my gravatar =)

  53. 53 ERM Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    I love roofoo's gravatar!

  54. 54 SCIBOTIC Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

    I have to agree it's looking annoying, the avatars should be sitting closer to the name, could you move it to the left?
    Also it might help to make the icons smaller but one step at a time.

  55. 55 Bart Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    @RedBirdiii, SCIBOTIC: good suggestion! I'll try that as soon as I have some time left.

  56. 56 Nathan Letwory Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    w000t

  57. 57 Sam Edit Link Apr 7th, 2008 at 3:06 pm

    Gravatar Test –>

  58. 58 Cuby Edit Link Apr 8th, 2008 at 6:33 am

    These are pretty cool, but it would be better if they were on the left side of the text, that way it would be less distracting (like in Blender Artists with the avitars)

  59. 59 Bart Edit Link Apr 8th, 2008 at 7:03 am

    I updated the layout: moved the avatars to the left and made them slightly smaller. In order to not create a horrible layout, I also added a default picture for comments without a Gravatar.

    You may need to shift+reload to get the new stylesheet info.

    Do you think it's better this way?

  60. 60 dusty Edit Link Apr 8th, 2008 at 10:21 am

    This looks better Bart. :)

  61. 61 roofoo Edit Link Apr 8th, 2008 at 2:19 pm

    It's great Bart!

  62. 62 OneShotAl Edit Link Apr 8th, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    moocho better bart

  63. 63 Cuby Edit Link Apr 9th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

    Awesome thanks Bart. Looks really great now.

  64. 64 epat Edit Link Apr 10th, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    How irritating … someone on wordpress has my usual blender nickname, and my normal nickname has "-" characters in it! grr… :P

  65. 65 epat Edit Link Apr 10th, 2008 at 8:05 pm

    Wahey - done! Firefox was playing up on me too so I had to use konqueror! :/

  66. 66 blendenzo Edit Link Apr 14th, 2008 at 2:53 am

    Well, I'm a little late to the game here, but you know what they say…

  67. 67 amdbcg Edit Link May 4th, 2008 at 10:17 am

    hmmm… does my gravatar work?

  68. 68 amdbcg Edit Link May 4th, 2008 at 10:18 am
