Problem

flash9286 · May 4, 2003, 19:31

my avator shows up as a red x

Ming · May 4, 2003, 19:41

It shows up in the threads... so what's your problem

Skanky Burns · May 4, 2003, 20:01

Are there any other images that don't work, such as in the forums?
Does your avatar show up to you in the forums (we can see it fine)?
Finally, do other people's avatars show up to you, specifically the people with non-custom avatars?

Chilean President™ · May 4, 2003, 20:19

I have this problem, only in the main page

Ming · May 4, 2003, 20:22

At least it shows you your avatar

Anyway, it is a problem of the Settler II or is something weird?

flash9286 · May 4, 2003, 20:26

mine was like that before the new server was installed.

Maybe change avatars to something else - *anything* else, and then change back again. The main-page avatar url contains a datestamp as well as your user-id, and the datestamp part is probably messed up somehow. Changing avatars temporarily may just be enough to get it to work properly.

hi ,

just hit refresh , ... that should do it

have a nice day

So your avatar doesn't show up on the main page a few times. BFD. I shocked that someone actually goes to the main page, I have the forums bookmarked.

Alex · May 5, 2003, 13:10

I always go to the main page, I like it.

You didn't mention whether you tired changing your avatar (and then, perhaps, changing it back).

CP should be keel-hauled for needlessly attaching a 284k file…

At school we're not allowed to make any changes in the system... and even if I did make a bookmark, the chances that I get to the same computer later is pretty small... so it wont do any good

This is the address of my non-custom avatar while I was on the main page:

Code:

http://apolyton.net/forums/http://www.apolyton.net/forums/images/avatars/UNITS_46.gif

Ok, well the good news for Flash is that the problem is 'Polys, and as such should be fixed by Markos when he has time. That main page seems to have a problem with standard avatars, listing the web addy twice. The good news for the rest of us though is that custom avatars work fine.

So you can either wait until Markos fixes this, or ~~spam~~ post constructively until you reach 500 (only 72 to go).

CP, did the problem of images not showing up only start recently, particularly after installing a new hotfix? If so, then the problem is on your end of the network. My recommendation would be to install Opera or similar, and surf the web using that. Or you could just put up with the missing images, it is only on the one page.

Straybow · May 7, 2003, 02:19

Only 72 left to go, flash!

(+1, See how easy it is!

Thanks

Actually I don't know which was the problem, but since past Monday the main page is working for me, at least the apolyton.net URL. The www.apolyton.com still have some problems but as Mark said before (in other thread)we should use the .net main page only.
Thanks again Skanky
