@piskvorky: where is the setting to allow for custom photo uploads? I don't see this on admin?

I agree - it doesn't look great with only the placeholder gravatars. Looking forward to the ability for users to upload their own photos without Gravatars.

This is a very significant issue - particularly since Gravitar is the only other way to get profile photos (not really elegant at all). I'm sure you have a lot on your place, but can you please prioritize the fix for the Facebook login?

I think this is a serious liability for a community site. Most people are not going to take the extra step of going to register with Gravitar. I realize this system is working for some of the more technical forums, but regular non-technical people won't take the extra time to go to another site and register.

How do I upload a photo without using Gravatar?

Same problem over here - looks like the only way to upload a profile photo is to create a Gravitar?

I agree a sandbox instance would be very useful. Or at least some info on what can be customized via admin.

I'm logging into the Settings page for the first time on my new install on my local machine (Mac OSX). It now gives me a database error, "DatabaseError at /settings/ - Database is Locked"

Any suggestions for me?

Please put instead an IP address - the 'localhost' value won't work.

Usually you get '127.0.0.1' as the localhost IP address.

I have installed a version of Askbot on my local machine (Mac OSX). It works fine, except that it won't let me lot into the admin at all, so I cannot create an admin user.

I get the message "CSRF verification failed. Request aborted." when I try to log into admin/create a user profile.

I see previous threads suggest this is due to to mis-configuration of CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN in settings.py. I have set this to 'localhost' -- this obviously is not working.

A separate thread on Django suggested I solve the problem by adding two lines to settings.py Middleware section -- this did not work either:

'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware',

Any suggestions for me?

I followed the instructions on how to install Askbot on AlwaysData. I got as far as the final step, successfully completed the install and db migration. However, when I go to the web page to view the installed program, I get an internal server error which tells me to check the logs (see below).

Note: I am a complete noob to Python, so any help appreciated!
