I'm not sure this is a real "bug" due to the old comment conversion to the new system

After upgrading to 2.3.9.3 (and converting old Blog comments to the new Internal Comment System) old comments on posts don't show user's avatar.

User's Avatar on comments is regularily shown only on new comments (both for old and new posts).

Suggestion:

There should be a Blog setting to Show Avatar in Excerpt (like for the maps). Currently, if selected in General setting the Author's Avatar is shown in the Excerpt as well)

Regards

Diego

Re: User's Avatar in Blog

Hi Diego,

The problem is that the legacy blog comment system had neither a user id for authenticated posts nor an email field for unauthenticated comments so there was no data available to migrate for avatars/gravatars. The new comment system has both a userguid and an email required for unautheticated users so new comments even on old blog posts can get an avatar but older existing comments migrated from the old system cannot.

I agree it is a bug to show the author avatar in excerpt mode. Its fixed now in the source code repository so it will be fixed in the next release. There will be a new BlogDisplaySetting in the next release for "ShowAvatarWithExcerpt" in case someone does want to show it with the excerpt they could set that to true.

Best,

Joe
