Topic: Forum avatars reset?
A few days ago I changed my avatar, but when I visited the forum today it has reverted to my old one.
I have no set it to my new one again, in the hope that it will remain
Any ideas?
Thanks,
matt

I see the the ginger-bearded gingerebread man; is this what you expect? If you're not getting this, try refreshing your cache.
You're only seeing that because I just re-uploaded it, please read my question again
When I logged in this morning, it was back to my old one (Nintendo Wii home icon)
we haven't done anything with the database that houses this forum, so i guess i don't currently have a good
answer to your issue. are you *sure* that successfully changed your avatar a few days ago?

Yes, super sure, because I had to manipulate the image to get it under 80x80px, and had to do that all over again today.
Anyway, it's not that important...

ok, i found the issue, it was on my end. i'm sorry about this and will implement the long-term fix. the short version
is that the forum is now in a load-balanced environment and the uploaded avatar directory[s] weren't getting sync'ed.

Phew! Glad I'm not going mad with all these long hours.
Have you had any luck fixing this?
(because it still seems broken)
thanks

i sync the avatars directory between the clustered hosts every hour and haven't seen any ``file does not exist'' errors
in the logs since 3/11. i'll bump up the sync frequence to every 5 minutes, so, update your avatar, wait over 5 minutes,
then try it.
