Gravatars are too hard to change. Support local profile pictures or option to update via gravatar API.

I use different emails everywhere so this may only apply to a few people but it's very hard to change a gravatar from the default one. Once I go to gravatar.com, make an account, change my picture I already forgot what I was doing before. Also, a 'gravatar' may be well understood by nerds like us but I don't think the general population may understand what "Para modificar tu foto de perfil debes hacerlo en gravatar.com" means.

I had a problem too, but was finally able to synch up the email I used in
horas registration and gravatar.com. Once I did that, it worked. Perhaps
a screencast or faq might help?

Creo que ha que poder tener profile pic upload, además hay mucha gente que está logged in con social media profiles.

Lo haría así:
Social media profile pic (then) gravatar (then) gravatar placeholder (then) user uploads pic

Good idea. I'm sure many will go with the social media profile, it makes
the onboard experience smoother.
