FastComments Default Avatars Using Gravatar
What's an Avatar?
An avatar is the profile icon associated with every account and shown next to every comment.
What's Gravatar?
Gravatar brands themselves as "A Globally Recognized Avatar". It's a service where you can define an avatar for a given email. Any products you sign-up to using that email can then use that avatar. This removes a step for people signing up to FastComments since their avatar is setup automatically.
So what's the change?
FastComments will now pull default avatars from Gravatar. You or or users don't have to do anything to get this feature.
If your existing users have already defined their own avatar - no worries - we aren't going to overwrite their custom avatars. Also, users can still overwrite the Gravatar avatar in FastComments.

FastComments Gets Localized
Localization is no small step - and it's arrived at FastComments. The embeddable comment widget is now fully localized in English (en-us), Spanish (es-es), and French (fr-fr).
You'll notice that we haven't slowed down, either. Generally when most applications add localization support the bloat starts to set in. In our case the client-side script has actually decreased in size as we've done some housekeeping and other optimizations at the same time.
If you'd like FastComments translated in your language, or you've spotted a translation issue, let us know.
