Not at present.   We are in the process of evaluating more modern BBS solutions.

We are in the process of evaluating more modern BBS solutions.

And a fast and productive process it is, isn't it?  The only silver lining is that at this rate, I suspect the change may not occur in my lifetime

Re: Can Archlinux BBS use gravatar?

Gravatars will not be supported here as long as we continue to use the current forum software (FluxBB). As noted, alternatives are being evaluated; there are several topics discussing this in the "Arch Discussion" section.

I am going to consider this thread "asked and answered" and close it to prevent it from turning into another discussion of FluxBB alternatives and the process for switching.
