But the problem is still there. Not to mention that the problem also happens on my phone. And if it was a browser setting, why is MY picture the only one that is blocked? I can't speak for Axy, but I can see everyone else's picture and just not mine.

It could very well be a client issue, but if I know anything about computers that doesn't explain why my avatar is being grabbed from a URL that doesn't exist. It SHOULD be the SAME URL as my in-game pic. When I click "open image in new tab" and compare the two URLs, the one I'm being sent to is different than my in-game one. However when I open YOUR image in a new tab, it is the same URL as your in game one.

So maybe not a client-side problem?


Yes, there is some sorta of sync failure that did not update your forum image.

However, the forum image showing as a bad link is not a server issue.

When I click on the link I see this:

Try uploading a completely new avatar in game. The image you are using could have an issue. Try for instance this:
https://www.clipartmax.com/png/middle/1 ... iscord.png

Save to your computer and upload it as your new avatar. Verify if it takes for both in-game and forums. If it does, retry with your preferred pic.

I uploaded it and it still seems to be broken. It's interesting that you see my old pfp, because I checked with another player that said they saw my new pfp in the forums.

As it seems this smiley face hasn't fixed the problem, I'm going to wait an hour and if the problem persists I will go back to my regular avatar.

Are you using a proxy server or vpn?
