Forums go Boom!

Silly pigeons.

I'm seeing it as well, actually-although I never would have thought to check on my own, as I didn't need to modify my account.

On the bright side...now I have an excuse for not having an avatar!

Thank you, Stardock!

(I'm half kidding.  :))

Yeah, SoleSoul, get yourself an avatar, already!
Yah lazy bum! Key people of the community can't be without a avatar!

I'm having a competition with myself to see how much karma I can get while still being avatarless.

It looks far better from the GC2 forums.

Not having an avatar is like being without a name and a face.

You say that like it's a bad thing!

There are still site related issues from the database failure the other day, and over the next couple of days everything should be resolved.

Baaaaaaaw.
You people are taking too long. I need my christmas avatar NAO!

well as for avatar-less karma...I'm up to 31 So I guess staying anonymous aint too bad!

Damn....not anonymous anymore!!!

PS: Ive never been able to add avatar

Yeah, I noticed this myself awhile ago, I figured I've been active enough here to make it worthwhile to give myself an avatar.

I hope it will be fixed sooner than later.

The thing about karma is that it's dependent on what site you're viewing this from. For example this particular forum can be viewed from at least 5 sites (Demigodthegame, Galciv2, Impulsedriven, Sins, Stardock and I haven't checked out the Elemental site so I'm not sure about that one). Karma received from one forum doesn't appear to transfer over to another forum so while SoleSoul has 36 karma on the Galciv2 site (i.e. "here") he has 0 karma on the Stardock site. Similarly ShadowMastiff has 0 karma here (i.e. Galciv2) and the Stardock site while he has 31 karma on the Sins site.

As a heads up to everyone that can't add their avatar(s) even when the account settings works: If you are using Flash 10, you cannot add an avatar. It's a known issue, but it does confuse some people that doesn't know about it. Use another computer with Flash 9 or somesuch, and it'll work fine.

Yep, works on Elemental. It's the only one I frequent (and consequently care about). The only ones here that have Karma is me (37) and Sole Soul (8) - on my screen, of course.

It's really somewhat a pity, since I feel that Karma is a relatively good gauge on what quality a poster is. It also determines the pecking order of wheter or not I can refer to you as plebes.

 

and weebles

Yay, Finally!

Expanding on Luckmann's post, I'm sure that most of us run Firefox in addition to IE(for just problems just like these). Open that, and in the address box, type "about:plugins" without the quotes. Scroll down a bit, and it will tell you what version of flash you are running. In  IE, click on tools, then "Manage Add-0ns". I used my Firefox to set my Avatars and stuff, as it was running 9.0.115.

Why use IE? You can check your plugins in Firefox, as well.

Tools -> Add-Ons ("Tillägg" in Swedish) -> The tab to the far right, scroll down and Flash should be there, with version number.

The only thing that I can't do with Firefox that I can do with Internet Explorer is manage my bank accounts; Which is why I'm boycotting their internet access thingomajigs. If I could, I'd strip my windows entirely bare of Internet Explorer.

Hey I am getting this now trying to add a post anybody else having problems today?

No, no problems. It's not likely to be the same problem as above - the sites have been revamped in the two years since the op

i havent gotten this error in a while so yea.... also i have changed my avatar its working  know
