Jingthing Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) My somewhat long standing animated avatar, shown below was kicked off yesterday and when I tried to add it back, numerous times, it never reappeared. Only a blank picture. There was no error message showing when I tried to add it again. Yes I waited several minutes for it to show up and it just never did. I could understand if there was a new policy about animated gif files, sizes of files, etc. but what happened here, I do not understand. BTW, I even changed the file name of the graphic. Still didn't work. (Sneaky, huh?) Edited August 26, 2012 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I spent time through the Admin control panel and haven't pinned the problem down yet. If I remove your current doggy avatar and try to replace with your older one it doesn't take and shows up blank. If I put your new one back it shows up fine. I just tried another animated avatar and it also shows up blank so not sure yet what is happening. Profile photos can be a maximum of 300kB so no problem with size. Will look around at other members with animated avatars and see if they are now missing also. //edit - didn't have to look far as just above smokie36's avatar is working fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just agreeing with what the dog in your avatar said, ie that he was "not food". Agreeing with your dog would seem to indicate that I like him, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I tried to remove the current one and and clicked save. Then tried to upload one on my desktop and this one keeps appearing by default. It's a conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a conspiracy. No Modric avatar for you James! Nope he can go to Madrid and sit on the bench, How many MF's do they have now. Good buy though, quality player. Who are you getting to replace him, I hear you are in for that guy LP paid 10 million for last year.... oops back to avatars. Smokes, please change yours, I know you like it cause it moves but time to get a new one. How about pick 4 and we can vote on the best one for you...

notmyself Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Mine seems to be playing in reverse. Previously the right foot was elevated before the left but it is the other way now. Strange happenings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Only the ones I like. The others, I eat, if I get my hands on them and they are not too scrawny. So far, I haven't yet come across a dog I didn't like. (As a child, I did have the tanned pelt of a dog that bit my face as a carpet next to my bed, but that's another story. Don't know what happened to the meat; I was too young to remember) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Setter just shook his head and sighed. Personality clashes I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I replaced my Avatar a few weeks ago and it seemed that it just would not load...it indicated it loaded OK but didn't appear immediately, after a few minutes, after 10 minutes, or even a few hours....but next morning about 8 hours later there it was.

BanTamo Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 For quite some time now my simple, very small file photo has not been appearing with my user name when I post. It worked for donkey's years, and its still on my own page, but its otherwise vanished. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Could it have something to do with the fact that I only ever log in now through my android smartphone? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
