How to turn on the avatars displaying?

Carry out the following actions in administrative panel of settings of JComments:

Select the "General" tab and setup the "Plugin support" parameter to "Yes". This parameter is responsible for third-party JComments plugins operation, including the avatar's plugin (if installed).
Select the "Permissions" tab and setup the rights on avatars' viewing for necessary user???s groups. Check the "Display Gravatar" parameter to allow chosen users group see the avatars.
Save the component's settings.

How to turn on the avatars displaying from third-party components?

Make the following steps to display the common avatars from third-party components, not Gravatars, (for example, CommunityBuilder or Fireboard):

Carry out actions describes in previous item above. In other words, turn on the plugins support, and give the rights for Gravatars viewing (yes, the Gravatars, they will be automatically replaced with common avatars).
Download and install the "JComments - Avatars" plugin.
Go to "JComments - Avatars" plugin settings and carry out the initial setup by choosing the avatar's type to display. Besides that, it is possible to set up the avatar as link to profile in third-party source component. Save the settings.
Publish the "JComments - Avatars" plugin.

You're using JComments, ok, now I got it.

There's a problem with JComments, and the problem is that it's not 100% stable in either J!1.6 or J!1.7, I've tried the same then I reached them and members told me that JComments works fine in J!1.5, however fails in recent versions, and if I'm not mistaken even on their page it states that the extension is J!1.5 for now. Would be better for you to reach them directly.

IF I could help, I would.

No problem, I got confused there because I wasn't aware it was a J!1.5.

Sorry I couldn't help, but glad you got it fixed.
