What

When a user changes their email address in profile settings, their avatar disappears because Gravatar links avatars to email addresses. The system works correctly, but this confuses members.

Change

Updated the hint text on the email input field (both /member/edit and /member/details/edit) to explain this:

codebar uses Gravatar for profile pictures — if you change your email, add your new email to your Gravatar account to keep your photo.

This is a one-line locale change in config/locales/en.yml — Simple Form renders it automatically on both forms. No view changes needed.
