IPB3 saves avatars or something?

Well, I've registered on like 5 forums and the second I was activated my avatar changed to one I used on a IPB3 forum like the first day it came out. What's up with that? I never set an avatar on any of them but that one forum. Creepy isn't it?

 

Kinda like WordPress gravatars - or any site with gravatar support?

 

IPB supports Gravatar.

 

Yep, Gravatar.com stores avatars. I hate it when it does that.

 

You can turn off Gravatar support if you wished.

 

Is that an ACP or UCP option?

 

It's an ACP feature. It you have a Gravatar then you're almost certainly going to want it to show automatically as that's the whole point
