get_avatar() default image not working as of wp 3.5 [closed]

I think that i figured it out.

Gravatar default images need to be on a public url and not one blocked by htaccess. So i had this on my dev server and when i removed my htaccess file that was blocking access the images started to work. This seems to still be a new feature. Hope that this helps out someone in the future.
