Very Very Very Nice! LOVE old school C9 style!

But does this give me the reverence to the file? Or the image file exactly? What happens if I change my avatar on Facebook/Youtube? Does it change on the wordpress blog to? That would be a breaktrought!

Tim Aidlin

Yes. Incarnate references your avatars on Facebook, YouTube, etc ... so if they change it should change the avatar you used when you leave your comment.

Hope you like Incarnate and use it. Be sure to let us know at @mixonline if you implement it!

Before C# there was darkness...

<rant/> omg. Do we have bigger fish to fry then spend valuable gray matter on an avatar sync service? Lets focus on ODATA (or the like) and let these things solve themselfs in the noise. </rant>

Interesting rant... Not sure I can agree with the sentiment given the purpose of the project and the goal of the work Karsten et al do...

As we talked about in this conversation, avatars are an implementation detail - there's more to incarnate than meets the eye. You just need to look for it.

Very cool plugin for WordPress! It works great with standard stuff but not so great with custom Sad

I'm using a custom theme which uses jQuery and beacause of that I can't use Incarnate the right way.

The issue is, that the theme uses jQuery to populate the standard comments form fields with the descriptions that are usualy on the side of the input. You can se how it works here: http://tomaszwisniewski.com/sql-azure-oraz-ssms-jak-polaczyc/#comments

The thing is now, that when I add Incarnate the jQuery stuff populates it with description of an email address so it automaticaly tries to search for an avatar which is not good behavior.

It would be great if the new release if the plugin take that into considaration, or mayby someone has a workaround for now?
