I think the problem is that when a person changes their gravatar image, it doesn’t change the gravatar URL, so Discourse has no way of knowing that the avatar has changed. If a person wants their updated gravatar image to be used on Discourse, they need to go to their profile and edit their avatar. There is an option there to refresh the gravatar image.
