    AVATARS: internal system changed

    As part of our load reducing measures, we've changed our avatar system so that custom avatars are stored directly on the server and not in the database

    On the user end this should not have any kind of difference in terms of using the custom avatar feature. The only difference will hopefully be in the page generation speed.

    Thanks Markos. One benefit is that my avatar now shows correctly when I'm on the forums from work. For unknown reasons I would always get the "broken image" symbol for it. Now it works just fine.

      All seems fine so far.
      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

        If I don't have any problems, where should I then report to?

        I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

          Does this mean our avatars will not disappear when it is busy?

            They still disappear when it is busy (at least, they did for me yesterday just before I was posting in this thread).

                Looks normal to me.
                What style are you using?

                    If he uses Opera 7(as me), he might have problems getting the animation to work. I just see a slow motion of every animated page on Apolyton for some odd reason?

                      I use Opera 6.01.......there are sometimes problems with 'Poly and Opera (though this has not been true recently) but I have never had trouble with avatars.

                        I've also found that Opera7 sometimes has problems displaying animated images.
                        Right clicking on the image and telling it to reload always fixes the problem, but it's still annoying.

                          I've reduced loading times by choosing not to view avatars.
