dragontology Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Some of us have had our profile pics reset. Not sure why. Re-uploaded mine and it said it had to be 100.048KB (I think — and that is a decimal place) or some other oddly specific number. My profile pic is 168K on disk, so I resized it to get it just under and re-uploaded it. I was seeing my name struck out and many other names struck out, so I checked my profile and saw that I no longer had a profile pic. I've fixed that, but for everybody who has yet to do so, I see their names struck out. I use the dark theme. On the light theme, it's just their name, no strike out, but there is a similar issue on the default theme. I thought IPB had a standard default profile image. Looks like it's not popping up. As a suggestion, can you have the forum pick from a pool of default profile images? It would be cool if you had a bunch of Neowin icons with different colors that were either randomly assigned, or assigned based on first letter of username or something to that effect. I'm doing a lot of speculating here, though I actually have *some* experience with IPB. It's been over ten years, but I did run one at one point .I know a lot's changed. My view into the Matrix that is the forum code is murky at best. But for a while, as I'm sure the people who deal with the code can attest, I used to look at forums and either understood how things work, or want to find out. (Now I'm happy just being a user.)
