Title: TEF Avatar Dropped
Post by: Sir Pissalot on Tuesday, August 6, 2013, 22:55:36
Why has my avatar disappeared?  It was there earlier today and attempts to reload it keep failing.  I get a message saying the image is not writeable - but it was there before.

Thanks.  What are you seeing?  All I'm seeing now is a very small box with a bit of green and grey in it.

Your avatar does appear to have disappeared, I'll sort it shortly.

I can make it disappear/reappear using the little scroll bar by the side of it.

Thanks Barry, I'll check back later.

"Little scroll bar", Flashy?  Really?  :)

Sorry to be a 'pain' but I've still only got that small green/grey box displaying on my screen where my avatar used to be.  I've gone into my profile page, too, and nothing is showing there either.

I've no idea where it's gone, or why, and I certainly can't find it. However, you are now able to change it, so you can upload another if you wish.

Thanks for trying, Barry.  Sorry to put you to the trouble.

I changed the avatar a few days ago and it was displaying ok until yesterday evening.  When I got back from the match, it had just disappeared and wouldn't reload.  The image (about 4KB) came from a public source (Bing Images) so should have been ok. 

I'll try uploading something else later and see what happens.

Thanks again.

It's no trouble. We moved servers Sunday night, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the server switch, so nothing to do with you or the image, I don't think.

Edit: Ah, makes me think it might be in the back up. I'll check.

Edit: Yep, there you go.
