suggestions to improve avatar picture upload
From a usability point of view the form to upload avatar pictures needs some improvement:
- When I select the option "external", the upload dialog and the delete checkbox should disapear - they don't apply for that source.
- I can both delete a picture and upload a new one - it is not clear, how the both actions are combined.

- That's right. cut is working on that
- Our proposed solution would be that the upload dialog would be faded to grey if the checkbox for deleting the current picture is selected and vice versa. Also, the text will be a little more bit clear about what actually happens there.
- Concerning your suggestion about radio buttons vs dropdowns: the gender selection behaves in the exact same way cut proposed.
- cut is working on that.
- Yeah. wip.

implemented as Thomas proposed;

as Thomas stated, I wouldn't mix up both Radio buttons and Dropdown. Since the latter are used for gender and profile viewability, I would prefer them. Furthermore, if a further external picture service will have been added one can easily extend the dropdown menu. I will describe both options and their effects in the help text more detailed.

will be done within the previous change.

done; the link appears only, if 'external source' is selected, too.

Account Deleted A note on Gravatar knows the user using Bibsonomy:
Bibsonomy does not send any data oder information to Gravatar. Bibsonomy does hash the user's email, but the link resulted is applied by the user's browser itself to request a picture only; as far as I know, a browser usually does not send any infos about the enclosing website thereby.

Account Deleted okay, I must correct myself. The enclosing website, Bibsonomy, is part of the HTTP Request header.
