News:

The server restarts at 2 AM and 6 PM Eastern Time daily. This results in a short period of downtime, so if you get a 502 error at those times, that is why.

The forum no longer allows users to upload avatars.  Those of us who already have are grandfathered in, but as soon as any profile change is made, since the upload feature no longer works, it strips out the avatar.

Anyone who used a built-in avatar is unaffected.  I think linked avatars might depend on size; the size limitation seems to have been tightened down too.

I don't think the boldfaced is entirely accurate. I made a profile change today and as far as I can tell, my avatar is still there (I did a hard refresh, Ctrl-F5, to ensure it wouldn't load a cached page).

That's a good thing.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 09:03:47 AMUpdate, I adjusted the "Uploadable avatars" settings so that members are allowed to upload an avatar to the server. I have also made sure that the custom_avatar directory is writeable in shell.

And to answer the question previously asked about uploaded avatar sizes, there are settings that we can adjust. They were previously set at 150 pixels for width and 80 pixels for height.

There is an option that can be checked to resize oversized large avatars, but this requires ImageMagick or another extension. I do have ImageMagick enabled on the server, but I suspect that it would take some code changes to make it accessible by SMF.

Thank you Alex!
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Was it after Alex restored avatar uploads this morning?

I honestly don't know.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
