Hello. Using the native User Profile workflow within Glide, users of our app are able to add an image to their user profile. However, when that same user leaves a comment, the avatar within their comment is a generic one based on their user profile name and not the image they uploaded? Or, if they used a Google account to sign up, their Google avatar appears with the comment instead of their custom profile image in Glide. Why is this and is there any workaround? I would appreciate any insight into this. Thanks

BTW, the only reference to this I could find in the forum was [Comments Avatar vs Profile Pic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/comments-avatar-vs-profile-pic/7675) and I didn’t see any mention of this in the documentation.

I think this is the answer as it fits what you are describing. The gravatar overrides everything.

Hi, @ThinhDinh. Yes, that’s the same thread I referenced in my post. I didn’t see anything definitive from anyone in that so I’ll leave this open for a few days, then put in a ticket to see if Glide has anything to add. I appreciate you weighing in. Thx!

Yeah, as this is something Glide handles internally, it’s best you speak with their support. Please report back with info if you can!

Hey, @Dr_Renee_Volny_Darko and @ThinhDinh. It appears someone at Glide caught wind of this thread because, as of today, now a user’s uploaded profile image appears next to their comments. Are you seeing this changes as well? Thx

It does grab my image after my comment but what displays in the call-to-action comment box is still the gravatar.

Yes, I’m seeing the same thing on my end. I’ll put in a ticket and see what I can find out. 👍
