Every time I post a new reply, something interesting happens...

[Frozzy]

Some people who I KNOW have avatars (alexmn, Big Crunch, H Tower) have dissapeared avatars

[Skanky Burns]

Do other people's avatars appear while those people's avatars are gone?
If not, then it could just be the standard "heavy load" measures that Settler2 uses.

Are you saying some avatars appear whilst others do not? I've never experienced that particular phenomena.

[Frozzy]

Yeah, just those ones are gone

[Skanky Burns]

So do you get a red-x in place of their avatars, or is it just completly gone?

That's really weird................still, a few intermittent problems the last few days, so maybe it will sort itself out.

It is strange. I can't think of a reason why some avatars on a page would load, but others wouldn't. If the server went to high-load mode halfway through send the page data to Frozzy, it is possible that it might not send everyones avatars but that would only occur on the one page.

The only explaination I can come up with is that Markos has added a mid-load setting where most avatars are shown but some posters' avatars are not. And he has something against certain posters.

Is it to do with the file type uploaded as an avatar?

Edit- probably not as it appears they are all converted to gif files anyway.

Not GIF. JPEG.

[Skanky Burns]

jpeg?

All the avatars in this page are gif. For example, yours is "avatar2565_2.gif".

[Urban Ranger]

So it is. What the heck?
