Hello, everyone.

Since yesterday, I have noticed that my forum avatar is broken. It happened after I made some minor profile changes. What's strange is that my avatar appears fine in my profile page. And it's only broken in my forum posts, not when I like/agree with other posts. I thought it was just a temporary site error, but I checked today and my avatar is still broken in the forums.

Hello, everyone.

Since yesterday, I have noticed that my forum avatar is broken. It happened after I made some minor profile changes. What's strange is that my avatar appears fine in my profile page. And it's only broken in my forum posts, not when I like/agree with other posts. I thought it was just a temporary site error, but I checked today and my avatar is still broken in the forums.

I could re-upload my avatar. But as I never consider it as an important file, I didn't bother to create a backup copy of it, and deleted it immediately.

Does anyone have suggestions to fix this issue before I swap my avatar?

Thank you in advance.

Re-uploading the picture usually solves the issue Oct 29, 2021

Hi, Novian.

Deleting the image and re-uploading it usually solves the issue.

If you have removed the image from your device, don't worry! If you go to your profile and you click on your image it will take you directly to the updater where you can download the archived imaged by doing a right-click and saving it. Once you save it to your device, you can delete the picture and the cropped image and re-upload it. Please note that in this case, it may take a couple of minu

Thank you! Oct 29, 2021

I was baffled when I saw my forum avatar appears to be broken. My past bulletin board experience told me that the image link was corrupted somehow. I was sure I needed to change my avatar. Thank you so much for fixing the issue. Now I can continue my unhealthy ThinkPad obsession.
