AVATARS and PHOTOS!

[digitalpress]

OK folks.

We did lose many of the user-uploaded avatars and photos (sorry, I don't back that stuff up very often), so if your avatar is missing you can use one of our gallery avatars or upload one from your PC at this time.

ALSO... this is a good time to do it if you haven't done it yet - upload your own personal photo as well! This is located just below the avatar upload in your user profile. SHOW YOURSELVES! :)

Thanks again for bearing with us. Change is good, right?

[donkeykong1]

Looks like my avatar is still there. I don't know whether I should change it or not though. I have had it for a long time and I like it. Maybe I'll find something later on. :-P

[Cmosfm]

I'll change my avatar now, but if my picture is gone, I'll leave it out for now and change it once I lose all the weight I plan on.

40lbs lighter now as it is and feelin' great and lookin' sexy!

[SuperNES]

wow, something has been wrong with the board lately. is it just me, or did it crash or something (tell me if someone already adressed that but i'm lazy) i think my avatar was linked from off-site, but not sure about the picture.

Edit: looks like both my Av and profile pic are toast. well, it's time for a new Profile pic anyways, and i have a good idea for a new Av.

[Flack]

You can lead a horse to water ...

[Rogmeister]

I guess there are actually some people who don't spend every possible minute here at the board...the nerve! :D

I've replaced my profile photo...the same one I had before. I may be lazy in not making a new one but I happen to like that photo. And my avatar survived somehow...

...or did it. I'm adding this afterwards. I saw my avatar before but upon posting, I only see a red x. It's been doing that today. Maybe I'll replace it tomorrow just to be on the safe side but it's too late to get creative now.

[Famidrive-16]

I just noticed sigs dissapeared.

Uh.....uh oh, there goes my two hilarious quotes :(

[Sothy]

My pc currently died.

I can find my avatar again but gonna be awhile before I get another member photo.

by currently I mean recently ehe.

[-hellvin-]

Cool...I decided to grab a new avatar with the return of good ol' DP. As an added little bonus, I also threw up an actual picture of myself this time. Yippee.

Quote from Tron:System got more bugs then a bait shop!

Any ways thanks for heads up on the problem.

Time to reboot ;)

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

I've taken the opportunity to put up a new photo that's a little more indicative of my current state of mind. Such as it is.

[Lothars]

Well im gonna reupload my pics :D

Thanks for the post Joe

[Jumpman Jr.]

When I went to upload my avatar (and thus, update my profile) it said that my signature was too long. But I didn't change it from what it was before?
Its changed now (to something smaller). Doesn't really bother me, but I thought I'd let you know.

What is said is that the website got declaired
<a href="http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69443">
denial of service</a>. Basically some jerk attacked the address. As for your picture, even if it is linked from off-site, if that link wasn't backed up you won't have your picture on here. I hope can recall where you found it.

[punkoffgirl]

I have a question.. Were ALL of the member photos in our profiles before required to be uploaded to the site? Because I tried to get my picture back up into my profile (it's the same one as I have in my blog), but it's saying it's too big for the size limits, and I know I didn't have that problem before. Thanks!

That shouldn't be an issue. I'll fix that setting right now.

Not to be a pain in the buttocks but.. now I can't see it in my blog OR my profile?

[badinsults]

Haha, funny thing. I had uploaded my picture for the first time about a day before the DDoS. Now it is up again!

[esquire]

I'm having two problems. One is I can no longer link my avatar to an offsite photo. Second is everytime I go to update my profile, I'm told my signature is too big. Not sure if these have been fixed yet.

[digitalpress]

That's weird. I can see it just fine.

I don't think you were able to link off-site avatars before either - because I can't control the size of the file you use and I don't want anything too large in that spot.

I reduced the size of the signature. It handles 256 bytes. If you need more than that then your signature is too big! I can relax this somewhat but seriously, do you need a paragraph at the end of every one of your posts?

Never had a paragraph. Had a .gif file (smaller than most other peoples such as Sothy's) and 1 line of text: "My Want List | My Feedback | My Auctions"

Edit: I think I know what the problem is. The character limit is restriciting the ability to put hyperlinks in your signature. I had links for all three (plus the pic), now at best I can only use 1 and the pic.

What browser are you using?

I just figured out, I can see it if I use Netscape or IE, but if I use Mozilla (which I normally do), then I can't see it.

[Damion]

Ah man now all of a sudden my sig is to long and the Pic I had up before is now to big :(

i didnt think my signature was all that long, but i have a few links in it, so, if those count towards the 256 then its saying its too large

[digitalpress]

Yeah. At the moment you can enter 256 characters into the signature field. Plenty of space to add a banner and a line or two of text.

[Flack]

Mine ended up being too long as well. I used to link to Extended Play, MAMExpose and a few other DP features. The problem is, reducing the text length in the signatures doesn't really solve the problem of people linking to one really tall graphic banner, which is the only ones I personally found annoying. I never saw one line of html links as particularly offensive.

[Rogmeister]

Okay, I've changed my avatar. Here's a larger version of it if you want to get a better look at that gorgeous mug...

Alright you convinced me :)

I'm all for text links. If you can't support what you had before then there's clearly a problem. I'll correct that now.

Thanks Digi :)

[MegaDrive20XX]

I feel so naked....well no worries, Arthur will guide my way like always! Then again, this is coming from a guy who can save the world while in his boxer breifs... :embarrassed:

[calthaer]

Hm my avatar and sig came through fine. But then again, I never change mine. Prolly never will.

But my computer machine crashed recently, and I'm on a laptop...and don't have my member photo.

[ubersaurus]

I decided to take this opportunity to make my member photo more interesting.

Nope -- I know for sure as I distinctly recall setting up a random avatar script on my webspace then realizing I couldn't use it. -_-

Haha! That's great, Kevin.

[ubikuberalles]

Perhaps you already know this but uploading pics to the blog isn't working.

When I try to upload a pic for a blog entry I get the following error:



Warning: copy(./weblogs/upload/72/5600882431af64ab1d49.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/forum/weblog_posting.php on line 831

I just wanted y'all to know in case you didn't already.

[captain nintendo]

Glad things are back up and running. Its good to see my avatar is still here. I dont think I have a copy of it. (reminds self to make a copy now)

[CartCollector]

You just gotta love this avatar.

[Pantechnicon]

Restored board - check
New avatar - check
New profile photo - check (and that really is me...)

All done. Thx.

[BHvrd]

cool i uploaded an avatar!

[ozyr]

Is it me, or are the Roundtable City Hall effect not is place also??? I'm supposed to have a Red Glow (which shows that I bought it), but it's not there. I don't see anyone else having one either. Is this being removed, or has no one noticed it - or maybe I'm just crazier than normal.

you name has a red glow around it....maybe just u cant see it

[ozyr]

Well that's just weird. I could always see it before.... Guess I'll have to check my browser... Thanks for the reply Tholly!

Edit: checked in two browsers... Cleared the caches and such, but still no glow?!?!?!? This kind of sucks... I'll have to dig further...

Edit 2: After further digging, I can find nothing wrong. I'm wondering it something changed on DP since the hack. I use Mac, but have never had an issue with the extra features in the DP forum not showing. Now they do not show, period!!!!

Not sure what changed, but it was nothing on my end... :hmm:

[Lady Jaye]

I took avantage of the loss of the avatars/profile pics to upload a new profile pic of me taken at CGE: yours truly with Howard Scott Warshaw! :D

[Slipdeath]

I just added my picture showing my youngness :D . Although I need to resize it.

That is a great picture of you!

I did the same and updated with one of the pictures from my recent anniversary excursion.
