Avatar changing bug

It's beginning to get frustrating. I'd really like to change my Avatar, but the resize bug daunts me relentlessly.

Does anyone know what's causing it? Or at least a way to remedy it?

Just crop your avatar to the avatar size needed beforehand, then you bypass the fakku resizer, which is the issue.

Or... if you don't want to do that, just keep refreshing until you get the part where there's the black image and the resizer reveals the image. Sure it'll take a lot of refreshes, but I think it's better than spending time cropping my picture on Photoshop/GIMP.

Edit: Completely unrelated... but... Medzy... your sig is so creepy it's cute.

Its good to note that the cropping tool is still barely functional if you have some luck.
If this bug goes unfixed for a few more days, I'll open a thread in the Art section that will just re-size requested images to avatar size.




Thank you - but I have quite a sum of images on a rotator, can you define the one you are interested in so I can give you the source?

Note: the artist who drew about 70% of the images in my sig calls his art "creppily cute". I have to agree with that.

To remain off topic... It is this one:


And can I get the sauce for your avi?

I think we got the point across about the avatar bug by now, we can briefly go off topic now.

Avi:

Sig (plus bonus):

Arigato gozaimasu! *bows*

I...decided to go with this instead. Forgot about that old cure. Thanks, Zandorf.

Just a heads up, you can also use MSpaint.

Having the same problem, on both Firefox and Chrome

Still just the work around... is any one even working to fix the real issue? I ask because I see no 'official' response here.

I thought they fixed it. Or well, I think it's fixed, at least for now.

Tried changing avis a few times recently, and it worked.

I just gotta know, is there not anyone out there who knows about Irfanview? I've never seen anyone recommend this program, the best small footprint image cropping/editing/resizing/etc program that was essential from my Windows98 days to the present. Seriously, check it out everyone. Don't let "image viewer" fool you, I use this every time I want to cut images apart without having to open Photoshop. In fact I hardly use Photoshop unless I'm editing Megami/Nyantype scans.

Cropping is as simple as opening a picture, dragging your mouse down the area you want to crop (look at the top of the program to see the dimensions of what you're cutting out) and once you have your desired crop, ctrl+Y and voila! Easy crop, and then you can have fun if you want to sharpen, enhance, censor pixelize or what have you.

Spread the word folks. Irfanview is the oldest active program I have been using on every computer that I have used, and it should not be missed.

I wouldn't do that.

Since I used to have that program years ago, and I didn't really liked it much. I think one can do cropping, resizing, etc. with MS paint alone.

I honestly never liked using MS paint to deal with pictures. It has no simple acceptable resizing, meaning you can't take big pictures and shrinking it down without it looking like a pixelized mess.

I think that explains why no recent generation of computer users even know about irfan, they probably look at it and think it's all complicated. If you stopped using it years ago, back then yes ctrl-Y wasn't implemented until around 2006-2007, so I'd say it's a lot better than it used to be. I mean, it can even open .psd files, try that with MS paint :P

Either: They are working on it (because I can change my avatar 80% of the time without the bug happening); or the bug partially fixed itself.
I would honestly like developers of this website to be more talkative in this section. It is very frustrating to see a bug/problem fixed with no word from any official.

"... D-... Did it just fix itself, or..."




I can change my avatar properly most of the time, but there were a few hiccups. The bug appears to be partially fixed.
