Different default Pictures

[Stephan Doerfel]

It seems, that depending on the chosen picture (gravatar vs. upload), the default replacement for privacy restricted pictures (or when no picture has been uploaded) is different. e.g. compare (when logged out)

Please use the same default pic for all cases (preferably the grey one).

The default picture behaviour depends on the different cases:

1. privacy restricted picture:

   Bibsonomy default picture is shown.

2. using internal picture, but no picture uploaded:

   Bibsonomy default picture is shown.

3. using external picture, but no picture uploaded to Gravatar / email address not added:

   Gravatar default picture (the grey one) is shown.

We neither can easily nor wanted to check, whether there is a Gravatar picture or not.

In order that the default picture is the Bibsonomy default, we could add a static link to the Bibsonomy default picture to the Gravatar request. In case 2, Gravatar would thereby return this default picture, if no picture is uploaded.

To use Gravatar default picture in each case is quite ugly to implent, however...
