We have been told by sparkiesoft the the web team is looking into it, but that was some time ago...

I would like an update on this too, it does indeed seem an unreasonably long time to fix something which, looking at the page source info is likely either a broken container (or more likely several), or some bad script, or a bad target (or some combination thereof).

From what Sylen has said, there are multiple problems all over the site like this, maybe they are working through them in reverse alphabetical order, leaving 'avatar selection' until last...

I'd so like to make myself believe in that, but... b:surrender well I guess hope dies last right?

just bumping this again

emeraldtara

Bump. I have same problem after I tried changing mine to try and fix the inaccurate level and stupidly chose 'no avatar' option. Let's hope this gets fixed soon! People on forums don't know what class or level you are when you post and it kind of takes away that convenience. We would like it back.

seems like they forgot or just give u about this issue cuz no more update about this looong time ago

SPARKIESOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please update us on what is going on, someone please I use the forums every day and every day I grow more bitter that this hasn't' been addressed yet b:angry

I understand your web team obviously is a 1 Man Army. That is the only explanation for this taking this amount of time. ABSURD to think a team of people would have this 1 thing as a problem with 0 updates or ETA's on work arounds. Gosh ....

Well it seems my fears were made reality. The quality control thread is here just for show. b:shocked

I feel this isn't getting the proper attention that it needs for a quick resolution. b:angry

Caydon - Heavens Tear

Bumping this thread. Thank you Bella (OP) for bringing this up.

My avatar doesn't refresh itself though. It's stuck on the same level like from 2 years ago. I'm now 93 and the avatar is still stuck on 83.

Similar to the rest, when I try to change/edit/refresh avatar I get an error message that prevents me from posting in the forums.

Camberi - Raging Tide

For some reason on this alt account of mine the avatar options are a 105 panda and a 105 elf. I don't have any characters close to that level, and the character whose name it randomly chose to display is somewhere in the 20s.

So confused. It won't even let me switch to stoneface.

tek1nig

Bump.

I want my 105 sin and my post count back ((((

Xainou - Sanctuary

Lol, seems like a nice signature is the best bet you got to show your "identity" now.

Just in case people doesn't check all threads sparkie did made an update on the issue: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=21686441&postcount=1

Forum Avatars: I know there is an issue with forum avatars not displaying or updating. This has been an ongoing issue that we've been trying to fix, however for some reason our database keeps deleting them. I've tried in the past to upload them myself manually, but it still does not work. I've let the appropriate people know, however it does not look like there is an immediate fix. I will update everyone once this is resolved.

Doesn't seems like it will be fix anytime soon, but I want to thanks sparkie for the update.

tylin2me

Ello,
I too have been having some issues...only mine stays on the stone face...and doesn't give me an option to change it. The only option I have is the stone face.

My main account, I've not recently checked since I haven't logged into the forums with her...but she's lvl 84 Mystic...and I think last i looked she had a lvl 64 cleric or something like that. I've tried numerous times with this account, seeing as the original character I started with on this acount was long ago deleted...and am now using my Seeker.

As for me, I don't even get to see the choices of toons I have on this account to switch avatar with if I wanted to when I click on the "Edit your Avatar" button.
It's just forever slow loading motion every time I try to access it ._.
I don't even see my avatar on the top left side, just the "Edit your Avatar" text that I can click as a button unless I post something on threads and look at the post myself b:cry
Looked at it today to see if my level updated and it hasn't b:surrender

Yeah, mine still hasn't either, and I've not only leveled more, but RB'ed again and leveled more a second time.

Edit: It's kind of sad that something as simple as this hasn't been touched yet.

I'm starting to think they had some interns code the stuff and it's too messed up to fix. b:surrender I mean, we had issues of avatarless people years ago already. Back then it was few, but frankie couldn't give me an avatar that stayed either. <<

opkossy

My bet is they broke their own custom code when they altered the forum layout (like how they managed to lose the fox smilies which shouldn't have even happened) and whoever's around now doesn't have the first clue how to go about undoing the mess they caused since the people who originally did it are probably long gone by now.

More to come.

Seems like there is no simple fix to it somehow it seems to be more wrecked than at first sight visible to us. I dunno b:surrender

Yeah. The avatar images themselves are there and unchanged... but the custom code that retrieved them, connected them to our accounts, updated them, and so on is what's broken... and considering that code was made back in 08 and we have a good few players who have been around longer than staff, the people who have to look into it now probably don't have the first clue what to do to get it fixed.


Though there's no excuse for the fox emotes (or lack of proper hyperlink color). Emotes are basic and carrying them over with the forum change should have been beyond simple. b:chuckle

The fox smilies actually stopped working for me before the change when others saw them still o_o;

Lmao xD I really got no clue how they even broke them. Should be having to move one folder at best lol But then again, whoever was hired for their website didn't realize that white links are a bad idea...
