Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Now installed the 6.x dev version for the first time. Enabled the module and tried as the admin user. Have a problem and a question about avatar priority.
1) In my user settings page "Replace my user picture with the gravatar for my e-mail address." option is selected. It says "If you have a valid gravatar for your e-mail address, it will replace your current user picture.". I have both gravatar and a user picture uploaded to drupal, but gravatar does NOT replace the user picture that I uploaded via user settings page. I still see the image uploaded to my local drupal profile. Gravatar picture is shown in my profile only after deleting the local image from my server. If I upload a picture to my local server, again local picture is show instead of gravatar. I selected the "Replace my user picture with the gravatar for my e-mail address." option, so shouldn't the gravatar image be shown in all cases?
2) I want to disable local picture uploading for avatar. Is there a way to set that users can use only gravatar? How?

Dave Reid1. Sorry, I should change the help text in the user account. Currently the behavior is the uploaded user picture always has priority over the user's gravatar. See #334609: Users should still be able to upload a user picture and override Gravatar.
2. I've opened a new feature request for a permisson to disable the picture upload form: #464562: Add a permission to disable the user picture upload form.

Dave ReidIt's now clear in the UI text that uploads always have priority over gravatars.
