They all disappeared and got replaced by a stupid description! Nuuuuu bring 'em back! >_<

ramune · 2004-10-18, 12:20

I was wondering the same thing. The "Rate that avatar" thread looks very weird without the avatars...

So it seems like it happened not too long ago? I don't know since I just came online.

_Sin_ · 2004-10-18, 12:21

Good to know I wasn't the only one who had this happening to him...

Now I'm invisible³ with the avatars and the "who's surfing this thread" bar gone plus being normally invisible

The next logical step would be to delete all text that was written and I'm totally invisible, yay!

EDIT: Could it be that the custom avatars got deleted completely? Can anyone upload his avatar again and try if it works? I'd do it myself but the internet is pretty slow because of Azureus running in the background

In any way; sorry for the problems.

Your's is still there, though. Are admin avatars stored somewhere else than the usual member's avatars?

Re-uploading works (just tested it), but I suggest you give Mb81 a chance to fix it server side, rather than everyone re-uploading...

Yah, I'm going to go rate just for fun! XD It happened like half an hour or so ago while I was browsing the forums...

Sure thing. ^_^

Secca · 2004-10-18, 13:01

Oh I tought it was just me, my computer and the cable were having problem or something. ^^

Waiting on Mb81 to say "hehe everything is gone, go reupload your avy." >_<

Izzy · 2004-10-18, 13:10

its always good to keep your avs and sig archived for such situations, thanks Nightwish

keep improving the servers, mb81....

Lexander · 2004-10-18, 13:34

oh sweet! Avatars are back!

sarcasteak · 2004-10-18, 13:50

LOL the avys in the previous posts are still not showing!

7thMethuselah · 2004-10-18, 15:55

I must say without all those avatars the forum was faster

I guess that's what Mb81 meant by a foruml upgrade to increase speed

(joking of course

)

No wonder he was the only one with avatar!

NICE CAPTION! XD

Lexander · 2004-10-18, 16:20

aww my sig is gone ...

there goes half the effect of the avatar. noooeees.

Aoie_Emesai · 2004-10-18, 17:53

I really gotta make a "WTF" folder, that means lots of stupid pics are going in there. Taking avatar to make it faster is quite ingenious, though rather cruel.

When did you move your avatar, today? Since i only recently seen my gone today.

I wonder if my "avy" is a copyrighted infringement, i couldn't find a nice pic of Tsukuyomi so i chose kanoka instead. "sigh" I hope ken dont get mad
I buy all his work (only the manga), this is my pay off "lol" j/k ^_^

"Sigh" mine is still dead

So sorry, reupload is nessary.

I know what did it. The other avatars in the database became aware of my avatar and decided to become corrupted as well.

Real · 2004-10-18, 18:05

Hey, I needed a change anyway so this was just some extra motivation

Most seem to be back up now anyway, wasn't a problem at all.

I tried to upload the image from imagehost instead of my computer andI got this error

I used the direct link, should I used the html link? I think not

lets see..
yup, this link works fine, so its not the link (I copy-pasted the exact link)

EDIT:

its up and working! ^_^ but I honestly dont know why it happened.

Maybe the server was busy because everyone was trying to reupload their avatars and the Forum software was fed up displaying the usual server busy message and showed the

instead.
Forum software has feelings too, you know.

That's an awesome and very scientific explanation - even better than the last one where gremlins where causing the server busy message (Maybe the gremlin struck again - who really knows?). Did you consider applying for a job in the customer service of some major hardware/computer corporation? Your knowledge would be invaluable

sarcasteak · 2004-10-19, 10:30

Nice theory, but completely wrong.

Mb81 just explained to me that he checked the server logs and found out that it was Thany who FINALLY snapped and kidnapped ALL THE CUTE LOLI avatars and destroyed everything he didn't take!
