Hi Dave/readers,
I recently came upon Dave's wonderful COMMENT BLOCK module (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:comment_block) and installed it on my default Wind theme. I got it working nicely, however, I am a little confused about what is meant by the "SHOW AVATAR WITH COMMENT" checkbox in the COMMENT BLOCK ADMINISTRATION page. Is that a profile picture of the person that is making the comment? if so, how does that person add an avatar to their profile?

Thank you.

If the email address of the user is registered then that image will be used. If not a default one will be used.

Ok, should I update the doc with this info? May be helpful for others.
