Choosing_the_blue_pills Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi, maybe someone else has posted something about this somewhere else. I can't upload my avatar and photo from files on my computer, after they disappeared in the new update of the forum, and I also can't see a lot of other peoples personal photo and avatar. This is not just me, right? Regards, CTBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I can't see anyone's avatars either. I could see some of them last night, but now I can't see any of them. I can't view pictures in the gallery either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsavy006 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 When I tried to upload an avatar from my computer so that I'd have my avatar back it didn't come back either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterious Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I'm having the same problem, I can make my avatar show up by hosting it on Photobucket, but that option isn't there for the personal photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I will investigate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Any better now? I see my avatar? I think I know what the problem is but I'm kinda out of it. I'm going through risperdal discontinuation. I thought I had most stuff working before I started that. Sorry. oh wait. now that I've cleared my cache I don't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzr Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 yeah, my avatar isn't showing up for me either. thanks for your hard work though, VE. hope the risperdal discontinuation goes as smoothly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duelist Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I used one from the IPB database and I bet its showing, have to check but I noticed this like the day before yesterday. I'm sorry you're going through Risperdal discontinuation syndrome VE. I am weaning my son off it SLOWLY, like .25 mg every two months, because his pdoc thinks that is th e rate we need to go. If you talk about this on the board in a support thread I would love a link to it so I can post in it in support of what you're going through.

Penny Century Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 the avatars not showing probably has something to do with the rebuild with the upgrade. i'm sure they'll come back soon. however, my "gravatar" seems to be working (globally recognized avatar, a service that gives you an avatar attached to one or more email addresses and automatically uses them on blogs that have the use of gravitars enabled. the idea is to easily allow you to have the same image across the web *shrug* it's a web 2.0 thing.) http://en.gravatar.com/ if you want one if you want to use it hit the drop-down on your name on the top right, go to settings, change avatar, and enter the email address you have associated with your gravatar. this could be just that images hosted offline are working. in fact, that's probably all it is. but i thought i'd explain gravatars anyway. best, penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duelist Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Good thing to know Penny! Thanks for the link and for the great information, that is wicked cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Last night my avatar disappeared, so I thought that I would fix it by just replacing it, but that didn't work. I then decided to clear out my cache and everything. After I did that, I couldn't see ANY pics or avatars. Now,as of this last sign in, I can see a handful, but that's it.

Choosing_the_blue_pills Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yep. Uploading avatar and photo in profile from computer works, as well as viewing other people's photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkendHour Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I can't change my avatar... I removed my current one (its from my computer) clicked save changes.. Told me it didn't know what I was saving (something like that) so now no avatar then put in the new avatar (also from my computer).. Clicked save changes its says "Settings Saved"... but with showing my old avatar again??? Edit= I know the picture itself should work, I'm trying to use the same one that I'm using for my photo on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkendHour Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks dianthus!!! Had to go through a loop to get it to work... empty temp files, sign back in, clear history, restart computer, sign back out and then back in.... then it worked!!! I looked to see if it worked inbetween doing each of those...Just as I was giving up and about to post "I can't figure it out" it started working, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
