Curious Avatar bug?

[Nils Bergendahl]

I use Windows XP sp2 and IE

work has a Windows NT and IE

 

It seems that every reposted avatar comes up as a flat line

 

 

If I use Firefox everything is fine, but when I switch to Explorer I get to see these lines too.

 

Windows XP sp2.

I altered a setting in the avatar upload section.

Could you try again? When uploading you can set it to your own dimensions. Just fill in the width (max 150 px) and the height will adjust automatically.

 

Dunno if this helps, but it's worth a try.

Just tried it Jaap- still flatlining I am afraid.

then don't

 

There is a excellent new extension called IETab for firefox (windows only) which solves the

problem of having to switch between firefox and IE

And if you also give it a fixed height?

I had the giant 'Jaap' and hit the F5. Now I see Jaap's avatar as an image of the tank logo. No 'flat lines' though.

Tried that too!

Guy, could you send me the source code of a page with flat line avatars?

 

Right click somewhere on the page - not on an image! > View page source. Save the source as a text file (*.txt) and send it to infov11lemans.com please.

TIA

Seems to be an IE problem. I use NS at work and home and have never seen this effect. Sob.

All flat on this page.

 

Wonder if my original and unreposted one is too.....?

 

Still good, better not change it!

Switched to Firefox (do you have shares in it Jaap? ) - can see them all now. Still not working in IE.

Well done. I didn't want to say it, but for sure – get rid of Internet Explorer.

 

Now you've taken the first step, prepare to ditch that Windows stuff next.

Netscape. Now reach out.....

 

Firefox is based on Mozilla code. As is Netscape, the most developed version of that coding. All leading from Mosaic, the first popular GIU web browser. There is also Opera, although I think that may have gone belly-up recently.

 

The real problem with IE is that you cannot remove it from your system. If you use windows.....

[Admin Jaap]

Even if you could remove it, don't! There are still a lot of badly coded websites that only work well in IE.

There is a Firefox plug in called "View page in IE" Sadly enough I have to use it quite a lot...

 

I don't have shares, but I don't mind promoting stuff I really like!

 

 

Get Firefox
