Avatar not showing up (for anyone?)..

tb0ne24 · 2024-10-12 22:18:17

Hi there! o)

Just a small question, I noticed my uploaded avatar does not show up next to my postings, just the placeholder image.
This seems to be the case for a lot of accounts, or they did not upload an image, I don't know of course.

Is that intentional? Is there something else to do for me to make the avatar show up? Some spell maybe? o))

Thanks! o)

Looks like a bug. I've asked the webmaster to look into it.

Alright, thank you! o)

And my test one just showed up. See: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=76886#p76886. So it does work.

Make sure your image is at maximum 60x60 and no larger than 10kb in size. I used a png.

Mhh, not sure what is wrong with my newly uploaded 60x60 6kb PNG file, but thank you for trying! o)

Mine took a while to show up. Lets wait an hour or so.

Aha, ok! This FluxBB is special it seems! o)

Not sure if this has been asked before, but allowing to upload images or even paste directly from clipboard, what about that? Even the old fashioned phpBB has it, I talked another forum into this feature recently, since I was exhausted having to save and then pick and finally upload multiple screenshots all day long.

Is this an intended restriction, thinking of moderation, copyright issues and maybe disk-space? I recently inserted an image via URL here, it was not easy task, I tried several times, it did not want my own web link, I had to resort to the suggested image uploaders and even then, I was unclear if it ever worked as expected, I was not able to see the linked image myself if I remember correctly.

Surely offtopic here, but while we are talking about forum features.. o)

I am a rather new user here, please don't mind me bringing up a topic which may have been discussed to death already, but this image-uploading restriction, it's just so "in your face". It seems to me that this place suffers from this restriction, but it might work exactly as the owners intended, I don't know yet. o)

Thanks! o)

Still not working for your account. Lets see what the webmaster says via the above mentioned bug report.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but allowing to upload images

Its never been supported before, but why not? New enhancement request: https://gitlab.xfce.org/www/forum.xfce.org/-/issues/17

Thank you! o)

Not a huge fan of image uploading sites, but yes why not, I see the benefit. The site of postimages.org looks kind of serious compared to a lot of others. For FluxBB itself, there is no plugin which would support uploading directly into the forum it seems. The whole FluxBB project looks kind of abandoned as well, but as long as the forum does the job, who cares. o) It looks "classic" as phpBB, I like it like this. o)
