Farmerboy Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi Steve, if you refer to your previous post back a few months l left a method which worked for me, hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 On this issue, I noticed recently lots of people's avatars have disappeared to be replaced by unsightly placeholders with their screen name plastered over the picture limits. Is this an update problem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And weirdly, both Chrome and Edge have this on different machines but not the EdgeDev or Beta (developer/nightly build version of the browser).

Paul Thompson Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Noticed the avatar problem yesterday. Using Firefox 84.0 on a Windows 10 PC. If more people are getting this maybe it should have it's own thread........ Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Broken avatars on Chrome on Linux and Android too. Error 404 is returned if you attempt to open the image in a new tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a free version of paint.net for this sort of thing, it allows you to edit photos in so many ways aswell as saving the pictures you've altered or found on internet into various formats including PNG, JPEG, BMP & GIF to name but a few. Lightshot is good for cropping pics or making screenshots. Both of these are meant for Win 10, you could check alternativeto.net for similar things available on android/iphone/ipad/mac etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
