Countdown Beta?

[The Author Guy]

So got a note from the editor this morning.

Her schedule in December is going to get tight, but if I get it to her in November she can get it done in 3 to 4 weeks.

So…going to go into overdrive to get her a version in November and maybe send her updates later in the month as we change things.

So we should be good for Jan 1.

Oh great Tizzy I need you infinite wisdom. Why don’t I have an avatar picture? I uploaded one but doesn’t seem to be working!?!?!?!

So that’s with the profile update broken emails I emailed you about.

When we moved the server where it is, behind a real firewall, we started getting DNS rebinding issues with the avatars because of how the system stores them.

It’s been a pain in the butt that I can’t seem to fix.

So, what you need to do is delete your avatar first in the “main site” user profile and then in your forum profile. Make sure both are blank.

If you have trouble, I can do that.

Then you go to gravatar.com (Globally Recognizable Avatar) and create a free account, add the email address that you use here (the one that had deliver issues a bit ago) and then upload the avatar you want and associate it with the email address.

BTW if you don’t know about the email bouncing it’s probably because my personal email to you forwarding one of the bounce messages probably bounced, you may want to check to make sure your email address is correct/current in your account here.

Sorry, missed this! Will purge you!

[The Author Guy]

OK, you should be purged Dirk.

Also, if you edit your forum user profile, you can enter the url of an image anywhere else on the Internet. The problem is just files uploaded to this server.
