Hello,
For some reason I can't view any avatars. (not even mine) Its just a blank grey picture. Why is this? I am using Firefox latest version and Safari has the same issue.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Yeah, I seem to be having the same problem. I can see some other users' avatars but not yours (Davyvfr) or my mine. I looked in some other threads and I can see some but not others. I cleared my browser cache to see if the ones I could see were simply cached and if they would all disappear but that didn't seem to matter. After that, I was able to still see some of them. Mine was an animated gif if that could possibly make any difference.
Apparently, just noticed this lol.
But I've also noticed that it seems like its only affecting half of the users at least in my view, some of the members' avatars can be seen while the ones that cant be seen are shaded in gray.
Just a FYI.

It is possible to host avatars elsewhere; users who do so are unaffected by this issue. The underlying reasons may or may not be the same, but in terms of symptoms this is essentially a return of this issue. I kept wanting to start a new thread, but never did, and then that one got locked. So here we are.
Yes, this got reported earlier this week. Staff have this in their queue to investigate further. . JodyRAnd that's what I was hoping we'd hear. With luck they'll get it figured out before too long. Edit: If the opportunity presents, perhaps this time they can also take a look at user video preview thumb nails and user video playback, which appear to be related to userimage.gamespot.com. [ref]

I see if that is the case, how do you use a image from another host? I tried copying the link from my photobucket account, doesnt seem to be working....and I keep getting the message "You need to select a file to upload" whenever I click on upload (after pasting it).
Edit: Also will the situation with userimage.gamespot.com be fixed? (since it affects banners as well to some extent) or are we gonna have to use the same method?
EDIT: Nvm, I figured it out lol, thank you. So apparently just copy+paste image link to the box above where you would upload image via browse on userimage.gamespot part and click on "Apply changes" below.
