Avatar Hack?


WeaselPie

Recommended Posts

I don't mean to be daft, but what is an avatar provider? Mine was just an image I edited down to size myself. Also the problem isn't limited to avatars, the edit and quote buttons are not working for me and occasionally the reply text box is just not there.

Ok then the answer is I don't use one, I directly uploaded my old avatar and this new test one (Yes, I am that unimaginative.) to the forums. In other words the first option, Gravatar is below that.

Can anyone who is having the avatar issue please tell us if they are using something other than directly uploading the avatatr?

I uploaded a pic directly from my PC, I have been told it looks weird by poster "Weasel Pie" who was affected, but I can't see that mine is altered, I just ran a virus check & no problems I can see.



If mine looks weird can someone please tell me, Weasel has his old Av "Davos" back now & he's about to log off but didn't think it was a problem on his end.

this was the link WeaselPie sent me as to how my Av looked to him, he said it's cleared up, I'm using plain Internet Explorer. It seems this might be the same problem as a few weeks ago.



I just see some blank Av's, I have no issue with posting & my Av looks the same logged in & out, I did a scan to check & got nothing bad.

My one thought is that Cloudflare, who provides CDN services, may have had a burp and it was providing the incorrect caches for images and scripts. I see no evidence of any actual problem, and the fact that it went away without any intervention from me doesn't suggest it's a server issue.

It hasn't really gone away for me, I reset my avatar manually. I still can't use the quote button or the normal post button. If I try to edit a post it says "cannot read property getText of undefined." I also wasn't able to reply to your PM.

Just adding that I use Chrome, but the first thing I tried when this started happening was switching to Firefox and I had the same problems.

Edit: if I switch to the mobile version I can quote and edit. Switched back and it would not work again. At least I have a workaround for now. Am I the only one of the effected avatar people having these problems?
