Steven P. Administrators Posted October 6, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just discovered a tool within ACP that converts OLD avatars, to the new format. So I'm running that now. Hopefully members that have already reuploaded their avatars after the upgrade won't be affected, but I thought I'd make a note of this in-case people see some wieirdness!

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 6, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2011 It completed, I didn't see the final number but it was around 100,000 that were converted. Converting "Profile Photos" from 3.1 > 3.2 now.

Yeah, seems it broke gravatars for some reason, can you resubmit it polease (it still shows in your profile) just resave it or something. I need to see if it comes back after that :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1030551-were-running-the-upgrade-avatar-tool-in-acp/#findComment-594361049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee G. Veteran Posted October 6, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 6, 2011 Is there any way of having the avatar at its original size, rather than being stretched?

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 6, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2011 Is there any way of having the avatar at its original size, rather than being stretched? Yours doesn't look stretched to me? Edit: The recommended size is 200x200 (which is then downscaled, where needed).

HawkMan Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Guessing he simply means resized/scaled, uploading the the same size as the avatar is displayed should fix it I believe. Going into avatar settings and clicking king gravitate checkbox again fixed it, it had reset to custom image.

Does this mean all avatars have to be 100px x 100px now?

Teebor Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Odd, this did break my avatar but once I went in to settings to try and change it again it suddenly re-appeared :) Might have been because it was pulling it from twitter? **edit** Bleurgh, actually it looks terrible now, I will go and upload a replacement as its terrible scaled **Edit2** New picture uploaded and still looks terrible, oh no wait thats just because of what the picture is of :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1030551-were-running-the-upgrade-avatar-tool-in-acp/#findComment-594361147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
