What is Gravatar username?
The idea behind this service is quite simple. After users register on Gravatar’s official website, they can choose an avatar or upload their own. And just like that, that same avatar will appear next to their username on all websites that support Gravatar.
What is Gravatar email?
Gravatar stands for Globally Recognized Avatar. When a user leaves a comment (with email) on a site that supports Gravatar, it pulls their Globally Recognized Avatar from Gravatar servers. Then that picture is shown next to the comment. This allows each commenter to have their identity through out the world wide web.

Are there any Gravatar images that are cached?
Jeff Atwood has stated that gravatar images are cached, so if it hasn’t been very long, wait and it should change eventually. I do not believe logging in and out would influence this at all, since your gravatar is shown to everyone, not just you.
Where do I Find my Gravatars on my computer?
If you have any other questions feel free to leave me a message or contact us at Gravatar. You should see your new Gravatar. Go back to your profile and refresh. This works because Gravatars are not stored on the website you’re using – they’re stored on Gravatar so you need to refresh your cache there and you’re done.
Are there any issues with the Gravatar CDN?
You might have set some explicit rating, or no rating at all, while Stack Exchange requests PG. Issues with the Gravatar CDN, which (like in July 2012) for some parts of the world might serve images that were actually changed weeks ago.
