    So, Is there any WP plugin to set avatars for commentators by means of uploading pics as their avatars instead of auto-generated avatars.

    Is there any WP plugin to do this? I've been searching since morning and found none. Thanks. :)

    It's better to install a gravatar plugin imo, that way users don't have to upload a custom avatar they can just use their gravatar.

    You can tell your users to make free account with gravatar.com. Tthey can upload any picture and it will attach itself to any WordPress site they join as it globally recognizes avatars and when they want to change their avatar, they can go into their gravatar account and change it.

    you could try "Dramatar" or "Gravatar Box". There are some plugin options in the add new plugin area if you type in "gravatar" or "avatar".

    I'm not sure if such a plug-in exists, but with some hacking you can do it. The uploading feature is already there. You need just to hack the portion of theme which displays the avatar and replace it.
