Tros Wanted was een tv-programma uit 1997 dat werd uitgezonden door de TROS op de publieke omroep. Het was de Nederlandse versie van het Engelse programma Wanted en werd gepresenteerd door Jack van Gelder en Mabel van Dungen. Een team van experts in de live-uitzending stond onder leiding van Klaas Wilting. Het was een multimedia spelshow waarbij de kijker betrokken was, maar het kan zelfs gezien worden als de eerste realityserie in Nederland. Voor het TROS-programma Wanted reisden drie teams van elk twee kandidaten 18 uur per dag, 7 dagen per week kriskras door Nederland. Ze werden op de hielen...

How do I set a gravatar image? I'm not even sure which email address SE wants to use for it, SE knows of three email addresses associated with my account.

And I don't see the option to use a gravatar image in my profile.

ThiefMaster

you only have one primary email address (the one on "edit email settings") - probably that one is used for the gravatar

b_jonas

@ThiefMaster Ok, let me see.

Hmm, I think my Mathoverflow account might be using the gravatar for the MathOverflow email address though, even though the primary email address changed when I merged the accounts.

Shadow Wizard

@b_jonas the email in your Mathoverflow profile?

Note that here you're using identicon, not gravatar.

You need to go edit the profile and choose Gravatar when it appears.
