Shane shared with me this wonderful idea: Why not build the frame and shadow around the image using a DIV tag?

So I used this:

div.avatars2
{
background:url(img/shadow.gif) no-repeat right bottom;
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
padding:4px 10px 10px 4px;
border-top:#eee 1px solid;
border-left:#eee 1px solid;
}

The stack overflow errors are gone, and we have a nice frame with shadow effect for those viewing the comments using Internet Explorer.

All we need to figure out now is how show the same effect in Firefox.

Shane, your WordPRess Avatars plugin works well! I solved the stack overflow issues by removing the padding settings in the css stylesheet (for images).

Manuel,

I just released a new plugin that provides this same functionality but that supports both Gravatar and MyBlog simultaneously and that fixes the bugs that were in the last release of MyAvatars. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hi Maki! Have you tried putting the reference to MyAvatars just before this line in the Mandigo theme's comment.php (line 32):

Anyone tried Gravatars...they're more universal than MyBlogLog, you associate your globally recognised avatar with the email accounts with which you post to blogs and your mugshot shows up as and when (assuming the blogmeister has enabled Gravvies on the site)

More info here - http://site.gravatar.com/

Thank you Manny for this plugin. I don't know if I'm going to have any problem about stack overflow error, but I'll try it.

Stack errors in IE because of the MyBlogLog Avatar plugin? Thank you to Ross of QuotesInCan.com for letting me know about stack overflow error. And a big thank you to Spud Oregon for the post on How to solve the stack overflow error. If you choose to copy/paste Spud's workaround code, please make sure your quotes are ordinary quotes ("") and not smart quotes (“”).

Hi TallFreak, I've updated this post by including a screenshot (see above) of where I placed the call to the MyAvatars function. I don't know how your comments.php file looks like, but the call will come after this line: and just right before this line: I hope that helps! What the heck... to save time, here's the screenshot:

I tried to get this plugin to work but napolux talks about adding a code to the comments.php but he's very confusing about it. What did you add to your comments.php file?

@Word_Sling - Thanks for helping out! (On another note... any relation to Mr. Go Negosyo?) @Napolux - I just used float left in the css file of your MyAvatars plugin. The styling of the avatar (white border, shadow) is based on the Nigarila Theme.
