    @Hayabusa has mentioned to me again that my avatar is broken (first time being in The Lounge), but it's working fine for me.

    Is anyone else experiencing issues seeing my avatar? It's uploaded via Gravatar.

    XenForo supports Gravatar, and this way I only have to upload my avatar in one place rather than go forum to forum uploading my avatar. It's especially useful with XenForo forums that aren't on my homepage tabs.

    The only exceptions are SEGA Forum and Final Fantasy Shrine Forums since they're on vBulletin and therefore do not support Gravatar.

    I think Gravatar is just...not working for me. Looked at my account options and saw the Gravatar thing too, but it had a broken image icon.

    I've uploaded it locally. Is it working now?

    Then we'll try with Gravatar again.

    Okay, going back to Gravatar. Let me know if it breaks.

    I'm going to be uploading it locally again, anyway, since I'm going to be using another avatar for my other forums, but what browser are you using and is it up-to-date?

    Firefox, and it's always up to date. Automatic process.

    Same here. Hm.

    Did you ever try clearing your data (cookies, cache, everything)?

    Done it enough times, would rather not log-in to every site I use again for an avatar to work ._.

    Maybe it's add-on related. Got any add-ons installed on Firefox?

    Plenty, but none that have ever affected avatars.

    Hm. This is definitely something on your end considering nobody else is having issues, though it's also definitely strange.

    @Misty, @Karuta, got any ideas?

    Forgot about this! :)

    I'm going to bed in a bit, so I've temporarily changed my avatar back on Gravatar to Jack just in case you get on while I'm still sleeping.

    Eh, a broken avatar isn't worth jumping ship for me. I can deal. Just brought it up because Amaury changed it to Bolin and I was curious.
