Have all the avatars disappeared or is it just me?

[GCW]

Yes.

Dammit, so they have....and I know exactly why, but I'm not sure I can actually fix it - bollocks, i'll try to find a solution...

[Bubba]

Hmmm I think i can get them all back to what they were set to when the new server was implemented, so we'd lose any recent changes from the last few days. I'll try to get it done tomorrow.

[Bubba]

Just to confirm, the database has lost records of who uses what avatar but they are all still there.

I will backup the avatars settings from a few days ago but i've had a few jars tonight so won't attempt it now, or it may all go horribly wrong.

Why did this happen? Well, i was testing out a new CMS-forum bridge that should have matched usernames and avatars between the two logins, but i suspect that for some reason the CMS has screwed things up.

[GCW]

Seems OK now?

[Bubba]

It does? i can't see any...

[GCW]

If you've changed your avatar to the St Anger cover, it's defo working.

Can't believe I wasted my 1000th post on this!!!

Not their best album Bubbs.....

[GCW]

My avatar is a file stored on my PC.  Does that make a difference?

If you've changed your avatar to the St Anger cover, it's defo working.

Weird, it's something local then....

I've had stick for that avatar before - it's not coz i like Metallica, i just liked the avatar

I wonder what the problem is then, it's not what i thought it was before...

[GCW]

If it helps, I can see everyone except Andi_e's avatar.












Maybe it filters out homosexual influences?

[Bubba]

Ok, this problem was very strange indeed. It only affected some people but now it seems to have gone away on it's own.

Bizarre.

I decided it was time for a new one and spent a good 15 minutes being paid by my employers searching the internet for something suitable 

[neil h]

mighty strange. i wasnt really affected, I ould only not see mine and bubba's and a couple of others, but now they have all returned



 

[GCW]

Any reason apostrophes in my old posts now appear to me as ’, as in Greg’s Dyno?  Weird.

[Bubba]

Hmmm some charset issue or something maybe? Not sure....
