Popular Post Crossy Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Theoretically the avatars should return as the forum restores. If you can't wait try this. Open your profile Click on the little "landscape scene" bottom left of where your Profile Photo should be. In the window that pops up is the name of the file that should be your avatar. Copy it. Google that filename, if you're lucky you will find your avatar (works even if the photo didn't come from the web). You may need to "Remove My Photo" before dropping the new image in. (c) @CharlieH who used this method to get Colin's avatar back. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Please bare in mind if you do change that file or reload your Avatar, whatever was there will be gone forever. Dont make a mistake and think your original will be restored later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It seems the new TV site is not finished yet. Maybe one day someone will upload some files and set a directory and all the images are back again. Personally I had "my" picture still somewhere on my PC and I uploaded it again to the forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 You could also use the Wayback Machine https://archive.org/web/ to open an old version of Thaivisa and find one of your posts then right click on the avatar and save it. Note this archive is S-L-O-W and doesn't seem to let you log in so you only get the site visitors view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Update: You could enhance your google search by using site:thaivisa.com followed by the filename you found using the above process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesofa Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Where has the edit avatar disappeared to? Being just too organised, I saved a copy of my avatar, but can't find how to restore/edit it. I thought it was somewhere like >Settings>Account settings>, but i can't find it now. Also I can't see where the Edit Sig File (footnote) has gone either.

Bottom left of the space where your avatar should appear (top left of the profile page, to the left of your username) is a little landscape icon. Click it. Or just PM the photo to me and I'll fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justgrazing Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 If you have to replaster yer' avatar does it also mean sending your new pic to followers as well , an' vice versa .. I couldn't find my old one so have gone for a horse lying down on a supermarket checkout .. shame I couldn't change the name as well to Justlazing or Unexpected item in bagging area .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Crossy, I had trouble finding 'open your profile'. Must be my PTSD after the accident. Anyway, that's done now, Anything on the edit footnote option? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall having difficuly finding the "signature" option previously, it's definitely gone now. I'll add it to the ever increasing list ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your image appear in a Google of "site:thaivisa.com avatar.jpg"? Emojis are hopefully on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , but when I did a search Canucamuck's avatar showed up front and center. Why am I not surprised ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still be in luck with Wayback Machine, it's likely heavy going as it's slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind, the blank white circle with the little square at 11 o'clock position has kind of a nice minimalist appeal. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really an altruistic action tracking it down, pain in the proverbial ending up at someones profile instead of latest post in a thread due to their missing pic and their name overlaying the link. Had to turn the damn things off completely. Faster people replace/fix the better. Edited March 17, 2021 by Salerno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
