Another option, which could be done is have an option to select the Gravatar from the option list with a value of "avatars/gravatar.jpg."  Then, anywhere the avatar is displayed, then do something like this (psuedo code):

If avatar = "gravatar.jpg" then
     generate Gravatar Image URL from e-mail in profile
end if

Then there is no possibility of malicious code being stored in the database, since gravatar.jpg passes the filter, and there is no need for additional fields.  All we are doing, in this case, is make a substitution.

(Be sure to read my post on the previous page as well.)

That second idea sounds really good as there would be nothing that would allow malicious code to go through as the email address is sanitised already from the user input.
