Getting an X after cropping my avatar image Help please
-
Ok I have an avatar already showing up and I wanted to change it because I dont like it. So I uploaded a different one and even reduced the size changed the image name several times to try to get it to take but I keep getting the same results.
Heres what happens.
The upload is succesfull and then I get to the crop image page and so I do that and then when I get to the next page it shows my avatar as 3 boxes all with an X in the middle and no image.
PS my old avatar is still showing up so for whatever reason this is not working lol the image is only 12kb.
What should I do?
Thanks -
lol well the image just showed up after I made the above post so it worked. Must be a code error in the upload but either way the image I wanted is there.
-
The threads in the forum search box indicate there’s a display delay due to caching when you change avatars. Usually they show up here in the forum first and some time later in other locations.
-
The poster would be getting the default instead of a red x though.
Not sure what the issue could have been. Glad to see it’s working for you now though.

Not a problem. :)
Just also for reference, the red x is a sign that the user is using IE. Most other browsers will put the title or alt text in there instead.
-
I’m seeing a red x now on my Your Profile page as well.
Hopefully it will be back in the morning.

I get the same. I tried uploading an avatar yeaterday and again today and it’s not showing up…
Unless it shows up now when I post this?

The images are cached. It takes a bit for them to show up. We think 30 minutes here in teh forums.
-
My image was fine. But 3 days ago it disappeared and was replaced by an “X”. I did not change it, touch it, rename it or anything. What could be causing this?
-
P.S. An image on a page – it’s the same as my avatar, which shoes up fine, as you can see.

Hello drmike!
Any progress? My image is properly cropped and uploaded, I can send it to the editor, but it still won’t show on my page. (I get a big red X). I tried reposting it in vain.
Thanks for your help!

I’m sorry to hear you are still experiencing this problem. :( drmike says above: “Mark emailed me back and said that staff is looking into the avatar issues.” I believe when he has news to share he will post it.
-
Actually Mark said that they were resolved awhile back. We had another thread on the subject. (which is one of the reasons why I don’t like multiple threads on the same subject)
Ironica, which page are you seeing the red x on? What should your avatar look like? (I’m seeing a south park like viking) Browser, browser version, and OS please.

Hello! I’m very sorry about the multiple thread – I browsed a lot of “images” issues before I posted my message but none of them were helpful.
My avatar is actually okay. I’m seeing the red “X” instead of an image – which is the same as my avatar – on this page: http://vousirezvoirmonblogue.wordpress.com/tu-veux-ma-photo-banane/
I’m using Internet Explorer 7 and Microsoft Windows XP (2002).

Volunteers on the forum including our Moderator drmike do not have back-end access to blogs. You have already sent in a feedback. drmike has already sent in a feedback.

Actually you’re not linking to your avatar in that post but to an image that you’re uploaded. Please check the link as I get a 404 error when I try to pull it up.
If you want and don’t plan to change your avatar for quite some time, you can use this Link instead.
Note to TT: ironica isn;t looking at his or her avatar. It’s an uploaded image file that’s missing.
