Member List and Avatars

[RhinoBull]

I noticed that some members have their avatars missing. Any idea?

[Nightwalker83]

Maybe they removed them?

[dee-u]

Or did not specify any avatar?

[brad jones]

can you give me an example?

Thanks,

[Steve R Jones]

Make sure the page is finished loading... Either the site or my end is real slow this morning and avatars seem to be the last thing to load..

[RhinoBull]

Examples are many - just go to Member List and sort by posts or reps (high to low). You should be able to see few members (including myself) without avatars although avatars do exist.
That's the only page has avatars missing. Steve may have a point here - this could be related to performance but it used to always be fine.

Confirmed.... But, I checked several sister sites and the Members List has been disabled on most but not all of them.

If I report the avatar or lack there of issue - we run the risk of getting it turned off here too. Odds are it adds overhead and contributes to the over all sites performance.

Member list was in fact off for awhile here as well but it was tuned on. I can leave with this as is...

Thanks Steve.

[Steve R Jones]

Then odds are good the list will remain on

I did email Brad yesterday and asked him to review this thread...

The forum doesn't require an avatar be uploaded. The avatars aren't missing -- they were never added to the member's account.

Brad!

I think I now see what RB is telling, I don't see the avatars of jmchilhinnney, shaggy hiker and rb in the member's list even though they have avatars.

Ah... that would indicate a different problem..... I'll have to look again.

My black square is not appearing in the member's list either! I want my square back.

[brad jones]

I made a setting change, but it doesn't seem to have had any impact. Something goofy is going on somewhere, or I'm missing yet another setting......

[Steve R Jones]

Big question is why do some show and others don't

I think they just suck bandwidth....

In addition, before the site upgrade, the members who had animated avatars would be animated in the member's list. Now they are not. Not that its a big deal or anything, just thought I'd point that out.
