Avatar malfunction

Post by K9Kampers »

Thanks to the Mods who cleaned up this site from the latest round of SPAM postings. However, since then I have had issues with most of the forum user avatars not displaying. This occurs on both my home PC and my android phone, which suggests maybe something on the website? I can see both some of the standard website avatars and custom avatars displayed, but cannot see at least some of the custom and maybe website avatars. This doesn't prevent my posting ability, nor have I noticed any other malfunctions.

Does anyone else experience this? Mods aware?

Yes, the avatars have disappeared on my IPad too. Not all of them, but several. Like mine and yours.

Yes,

I am aware of the issue and am working to try to resolve it. Are you able to upload a new avatar?

My custom avatar was not displaying after the cleanup so I reloaded it in my user control panel. Now it seems to work fine.

Sorry, but I can't figure out why some are working while others aren't. I think the best thing right now might be to upload a new avatar if yours is broken.

OK, after first thinking I would give up on it, I think I have it fixed now. Please let me or a moderator know if there are still problems.

Folks, when you file reports of working/not working please also post what environment / browser you are using.

I'd be interested in reports particularly from those of you using Firefox.

Thanks.

Working fine now with my Chrome (27.0.1453.94m) and latest firefox (21.0)

Are you sure you cleared your caches etc.
I'm a big fan of CCleaner on PCs to get rid of temp files http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
