I dont i doubt im the only one who has experienced this but when i egged someones avy, it ate the avatar.
Its no longer there..!!
can you please elaborate on this please.
was it an uploaded avatar?
did you have the setting enabled that that it would overwrite the avatar?
please link the image if possible
anything else would be useful as well, like a website address etc.
well this is kinda odd but I just posted this and it disappeared so here I go again. I'm pretty sure I said it better the first time...
Feeble the probem has to do with the egging and browsers other than Firefox.
Members who have been egged can no longer browse or select avatars from the stored avatars on the forum IF they use a browser other than firefox.
Their current avatar disappears, and is replaced by the broken image with 'do nothing' (as per image above) and the avatar directories are not links so they cant browse or select from them
If they go to firefox, they can do everything as normal
Members who have never been egged can continue to browse and select avatars from the server from all browers. But once they get egged, they get the same problem as above.
It doesnt happen in firefox which is why I didnt pick up on it before now - I use firefox. But it is really stopping members from playing with the new egging feature as not many of them use firefox.
I tested it myself with my account, everything fine in firefox - can't change avatar, select avatar etc in IE.
Then I tried it with a member account that had never been egged and everything was fine in all browsers... until they were egged and then they run into the above problem.
ill look into it, but it sounds odd.
just checking, when the users of ie get this problem, is their avatar egged? and was it egged successfully?
Yes all the people have been successfully egged at least once, sometimes more. When they try to change their avatar they can't access the ones on the server... in IE etc but in firefox its ok
People who have never been egged are ok.
The first report I got was from a newish member who said her avatar had disappeared (it was an egged one). then another member said the same thing and sent me the above screenshot. I could access their avatars using FF so I put them back on but they couldnt change them and they didnt show up.
then I tried to recreate the problem and discovered the above. If I log in as a member who had been egged previously in IE then I dont see the second avatar column at all and I cant select any, but if I log in as a never egged member in IE, then the second avatar box (the selection box) appears.
It is very weird. Its late here so I cant do anything else till tomorrow. Thanks for investigating.
