blank avatars no longer load
-
there used to be a blank avatar next to people’s comments (if they didn’t have a custom avatar of their own).. i believe this was a blank gif… but it no longer loads and i just get a blue question mark… anyone know if this is a temporary glitch? or have they changed something?
when i try to open the avatar image in a new window it takes me to gravatar.com, but i dont have gravatar selected in my settings.

example comment here:
http://citinite.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/bad-boy-bill/note… you get a question mark in Safari… in Firefox the avatar box shrinks to only a few pixels wide as there is nothing filling it.
-
It now depends how you’ve got your comments set. There are new settings. See this thread:
-
yeah, i remember seeing this thread, but i dont want any of those other avatars… i just want a blank one… it used to generate a transparent square gif which left the avatar box looking blank but still filled with something…. now it seems that blank gif is no longer available so you are left with an image load error.
FYI… i have “show avatars” and “blank” selected.

but it used to work, ever since i started blogging… it only stopped working a couple of days ago.
-
When the changes to the avatars happened. Maybe there’s a setting that will do this now, but it would be a different setting.
-
the changes to the avatars was about a month ago… the loading error for the blank avatar has happened within the last week.
-
Yes, that’s when they started making weird changes. That doesn’t mean that’s the only change they ever made.
If you want an avatar to work NOW, upload it NOW. -
i don’t have an avatar to upload… i’m just talking about comments from people without a custom avatar.
but yeah, wordpress tinkering seems never-ending.
sigh
