Title: AVATAR won't load Post by: Seolvit on December 11, 2013, 08:54:24 PM I can not get my Avatar icon to upload.
Wazzup? Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: Anon136 on December 11, 2013, 08:58:27 PM avatars are presently disabled due to an exploit being found to be utilizing them. atleast that is what i was told when i asked this same question about an hour ago.
Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: jackjack on December 11, 2013, 09:27:20 PM Maybe read the other threads in Meta?
Is it too difficult? Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: BadBear on December 11, 2013, 09:34:17 PM You should pm whiskers75 and ask him.

Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: btcton on December 12, 2013, 01:13:39 AM People need to stop posting these threads without reading others first. I am concerned as well, as I look like a total newbie with my avatar, but reading is really not that hard.

Maybe read the other threads in Meta? Is it too difficult? And I was just about to make a thread in this forum about problems with my avatar D. Glad I had a quick look first now. Is there an ETA on when they'll be back? Suppose it's not a massive deal, but it helps identify yours and others posts quickly and easily. Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: DeboraMeeks on December 14, 2013, 01:32:00 AM There was a recent attack on this forum (not the previous man-in-the-middle attack but another one before it) that used avatars.they have been disabled until the admin solves the weaknesses in avatars.

Suppose it's not a massive deal, but it helps identify yours and others posts quickly and easily. According to what i have been told, no.

AVATARS ARE DISABLED! Thank you. why isn't this stickied and highlighted on the Meta front page? Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: BadBear on December 14, 2013, 07:36:24 AM Like people would read it, or even look. Would be better if added to the profile page where you set the profile picture.

Would be better if added to the profile page where you set the profile picture. I think that would be a wise idea. Still, I'm sure we'd still get one or two of these threads haha. Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: Faince1985 on December 16, 2013, 08:22:12 AM The avatars are disabled because of a vulnerability in avatars allowed a hacker to abuse it. They are down from about a month ago. Adding a warning might be better since most users thinks it's an issue in his computer/connection.

Title: Re: AVATAR won't load Post by: hilariousandco on December 16, 2013, 09:21:49 AM Most users are too lazy to even read the thread titles in the Meta forum before posting their own Somebody mentioned putting a note on the avatar section in peoples profiles. I think a AVATARS ARE CURRENTLY DISABLED message would cut these threads down by about 99%. |
