Comments on .Re/search
You may have noticed over the months that the comments on .Re/search often put the wrong person’s face with the comment. We haven’t been able to resolve this and have now switched to “Disqus” comments for .Re/search.
It should pretty much function the same. New comments should avoid the wrong face issue. I’m not certain if it will be importing faces for the old comments or not, but at least they won’t be the wrong images. And it looks like it cleans everything up going forward. 🙂

I tried commenting (I have a disqus), but I don’t see the comment yet. I’ll check again later.

Oh gosh, it’s always something! I don’t see your comment on .Re/search OR in the “moderation cue”… can you try another one?

I haven’t done much coding of comments, but I have done some with avatars and bbpress.
My first thought would be to check if/how the site is cached.
Next step is to check a plugin conflict – minify, CDN, or something associated with Javascript.
Or if the site uses a comment related plugin check that.
The WP Codex says the avatar function is pluggable which means functions are easily overridden.
Outlier possibilities: document structure issue (open element tag), php loop error.
It is most likely a small problem.

thanks Mike! We had a comment issue here on .Re/act in the past, that your comment would go under the wrong post! That turned out to be some issue with Jetpack Comments & this Houston / P2 theme. Turning Jetpack Comments off solved that.
Meanwhile, over on .Re/search we’ve always had a “wrong icon / avatar” issue. It’s intermittent. I’m thinking it might use the right avatar if the commenter is logged in to the website, and if not, it uses the author’s avatar for the commenter!? As far as I can tell, that’s an issue with .Re/search’s “Diablo” theme. Moving to Disqus may have been overkill, but it seems like it’s resolved (or driven over) that issue.
TY!

Since the “existing” comments have been “imported” to Disqus, your name and comments are still there, but it doesn’t automatically have your Icon / Avatar. (it will on any future comments)
If you go:
disqus.com > edit profile > merging
and “merge” your comments, then, voila! Your icon will “populate” all over .Re/search!
