Lots of Broken Profile Images

Strontium 2019-03-15 19:49:24 UTC #1

A few weeks ago I started seeing many broken profile pics or avatars here on the forums. I believe that most of these broken profile pics belong to new users who have registered recently.

Here's what the pinned topics look like to me:

You can see the broken image icon appear in the place of multiple avatars.

Is this happening to anyone else?
It's not breaking the forums for me, but I find it annoying.

i have this thing where half the pfp images i see are just blank, it doesn’t even give the ripped page icon. could just be profiles that haven’t made a pfp yet tho so idk

I have a lot of them too.

Yeah, same, like.. there's accounts that just don't have a profile picture. Back then though, they used to just be a white letter and a randomly colored background

I was meaning to ask about this, too, but since nobody else was talking about it I thought it was only me! It's been like this for like a month now? Hope it can get fixed now that it's brought to light.

Thank goodness it wasn't just me! @staff what is it like on your end?

They said the the @staff is inactive anymore. If there's any technical problems we probably only need to tag @Yoon ?

And yeah, it's like that for me too, but on mobile, the picture just disappear rather broken like yours.

Ah thanks, it's been a while since I called for staff help XD

Can confirm too that in mobile the pictures are blank, but this is because Safari has a different "broken image icon" that loads for broken images than the browser that I took the screenshot in, Firefox.

Ah cool, I'm in a screen cap! I'm famous now!

That’s what I was thinking when I saw me on it. XD

But I’ve seen this happen a lot, too. I’ve also had the forums wig out when I try to see who liked my posts. That might just be a mobile thing, though, since I’m usually on my phone.

I’ll take a look at it. Thank you!

Fixed. Broken profile image will be replaced by Tapas default user image.
Thank you,

Thank you Yoon! It looks much better now.
